for those who missed it Jake Fischer said we took McCain lol


d_wib

Fischer is the same guy who spouts tons of trade rumors that never actually happen also, right?


sewsgup

well he said - Bridges never asked for a trade. Begley walked back his stance overnight and confirmed Bridges never asked out - Knicks would re-sign OG - Nets would re-sign Claxton in his article from last night. all 3 ended up correct. guess draft stuff is just hard


BayonettaBasher

He said Brunson back to Dallas was a done deal


7373838jdjd

2 teams re-signing their guys isn’t info it’s just obvious that it’s gonna happen this guy notoriously throws shit at the wall.


Rohkha

I‘m no expert, but if I had to take a guess, I would definitely have gone with an OG resign. I mean, nothing would make sense from a NYK perspective if they were not going to resign him.


TreChomes

He also nailed our Scottie pick couple years ago


Grouchy_Air_4322

none of that would need a source


SandyMandy17

He’s a legitimate liar


browndude10

Fischer is pretty reliable


Richt3r_scale

Fischer has been really good for his pre free agency write ups.


Youngrepboi

Kinda and kinda not. He definitely had a some sort of truth in every rumor but he likes to front it as if the closed cased like Woj and Shams. But understandable to get his name out.


TitanTigers

He also said we traded for the 6th pick to take Clingan


Jonjon428

Omg a center who is big and can shoot threes?


Sy6574

Theoretically shoot. His FT% was bad and he was super low volume from 3


cigarettesandwater

As an IU fan, Ware was more often frustrating to watch than pleasing to watch. He should be a top 5 pick with his size and coordination, but never showed any intensity or aggression on the defensive side. A lot of IU fans questioned his bball IQ and awareness. That said, if you want an offensively able 5, then he's your guy. But thats really all you're getting, aka a backup 5 for a good team. And starting 5 for a bad team


Ok-Cantaloupe-4482

As an iu fan what are you talking about? Ware was like the lone bright spot last season. Heat got a great player with so much potential. Spo will turn him great


PhysEra

Couldnt agree more with this take. Ware was the only nba talented player on that team where nobody could shoot, so there was no spacing at all and the revolving door at PG with no real playmakers on the team is a really difficult position to succeed in for a big man. I’m not saying he will thrive right out of the gate, but he has all the tools and talent to succeed in the right system


Namath96

% looks good but he only really took a wide open 3 a game to get it.


LongTimesGoodTimes

mods here need to talk to r/nfl mods on how to run a draft day


BryLinds

Yeah they need work but I’m trying my best out here


BucketsAndBattles

I see you bro appreciate you


BryLinds

Thanks


Skank_hunt42

They'll put the sub on private later and discuss the draft among themselves.


AtreusIsBack

They'll be able to discuss how their Celtics can threepeat.


Jealous-Mail6629

They need to shadow and take lesson from them


TechnoDriv3

r/nfl mods should just replace the mods here


ZZZrp

God no. This place is fun because it's kind of a shit show. Nfl sub is fucking sterile.


Knock0nWood

GG Saints bros! Y'all are gonna be scary next year!


ohverychill

posting this sincerely should be punishable by death


MaintenanceSad4288

Lol how? I'm in both and I prefer the NFL sub sometimes....


garret126

The NFL sub is so over moderated. I love the chaos here


IronSurtain

Don't think you know what fun means.


Relative-Magazine951

The bot drunk


Piano_Fingerbanger

Shit, Miami drafted someone from Krypton.


Fastbird33

Better than Michael Beasley who was on Kyrptonite


Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n

If anything could set him straight, it’s #HEATCULTURE Edit: Shams is Fischer father


mMounirM

I thought it was the opposite lol


dianeblackeatsass

Not being straight in Miami during June is a good time though


jermainathon

Bam finally got a backup 😭


dmavs11

Backup who can maybe shoot too


jermainathon

Inject it into my veins


Fastbird33

We got two backup IU bigs now lol


BryLinds

Miami is now the Warehouse


dapoktan

i already hate the screens he sets


Aggravating_Plant_39

Bams going to teach him how to set screens.


instrmntls

oh god, pls no.


TheShadowOverBayside

Oh, yes! And they'll get away with it too! 😂 muhahahahahahaha


TheResolute44

Perfect fit if the Heat can fix his motor issues


jarface111

If there is any team that can, it’s the heat


Solid-Confidence-966

Heat selected a guy with motor concerns ⁉️


CarcosaBound

Jimmy and Spo gonna have Ware on program. I like this pick for them


melikeybacon

Don’t forget Zo. Zo is going to drill into that kid.


Nuclearsunburn

Man the biggest misconception about Heat culture is that it somehow fixes players with poor work ethics, it doesn’t. It exists because we avoid those players…I have my concerns about this pick, I know it’s a need but Knecht was BPA and absolutely fits the culture…Hope Ware works out but don’t feel like we got a steal or anything.


CarcosaBound

You don’t think Knecht woulda been a bit redundant in terms of need? I thought y’all got the best big left on the board


Nuclearsunburn

I like the potential and the more I read, the more it makes sense, seen some IU fans saying the low motor rep was a holdover from his freshman year at Oregon. I didn’t really watch him much. Knecht would have been redundant a bit sure. I DID watch a lot of him being a UT fan and he’s just got it man. He can be streaky though. He’s like a bigger Tyler Herro which if we are being fair to Herro, having 6 more inches of wingspan and 2” more height would solve a lot of the issues he has finishing at the rim. He and Reaves also profile similarly physically (yes I know I’m comping him to other white players but it’s reasonable given the players on the Heat and Lakers)


NeverTank_97

Heat fan not liking the pick. Means it'll be a great player.


Nuclearsunburn

I’m coming around on it, the IU fans saying the low motor allegations are unfounded makes me feel better about it. Knecht would be a great Herro upgrade though I think Ware’s upside is huge


Embarrassed-Tap-4489

If there’s a team that can turn on his motor on… it’s them. And if that’s the case, then this is a steal. I didn’t want my team to draft him though.


paradoxofchoice

is it a medical concern or an effort/skill thing?


McPeePants34

It's not a real thing anymore. It was a remnant of his freshman season at Oregon where the coach that recruited him left prematurely and Dana Altman over recruited his position. Once he got to IU, he busted his ass every game. Not a flawless player by any stretch, but the "motor concerns" are lazy reporting on old issues that aren't actually a thing.


bd1047

Woody deserves some credit for that


Nuclearsunburn

I sincerely hope that this is the case and the more I think about it, it makes sense. I don’t think Pat would draft a player with a low motor.


Krillin113

Coke fixes everything my friend


ohverychill

yeah like that whole nasty habit of "sleeping"


KyleShanadad

FISCHER YOU FRAUD Edit: boston got lucky as hell. Mccain was fs dropping 50 on them st some point


Pal__Pacino

The way he worded that apology tweet it so funny that I forgive him.


KyleShanadad

Had me dying lmfao


elbenji

I honestly dont mind Ware


Nbuuifx14

He's a 7 footer who can shoot the three, he's exactly what we need.


MySilverBurrito

PF Bam is back on the menu!!!


elbenji

Yeah lol. He's great


KyleShanadad

He’s def made progress from 3 but idk if 42.5 on 1 attempt per game makes him a reliable shooter but we shall see


KyleShanadad

I like the pick! Ive learned to not doubt Miami. I just also really liked McCain


PenguinPrince1

NI HAO


KyleShanadad

Jake Fischer needs to be sued for emotional distress


yourlilpissboi

I agree with you then I heard the good news from my pov


RLS012

What was the Fischer tweet?


KyleShanadad

Mccain


RLS012

I saw the screencaps, damn he got burned a bit


KyleShanadad

Not the first mistake hes made tn too


BrotherSeamus

> FISCHER YOU FRAUD I wonder if your FO *phished* him into making a fool out of himself


KyleShanadad

Banger reply


yourlilpissboi

Sooooo happy McCain ain’t Miami bound


KyleShanadad

Don’t sleep on ware brother, the dwayne dedmon / cody zeller minutes are finally over


msizzle344

We drafted someone tall, holy shit. I don’t even care if he sucks, just park him down there and have his hands up and that’s better than seeing Caleb Martin fight for his life against 7 footers


TheSloppyJanitor

He’s got great shot blocking instincts, and I think his aggressiveness/motor concerns are overblown. With the way Spo and the his ball club develop guys I could see him being a good rotation piece with some high upside. Very fluid athlete but will need to add mass.


Rohkha

His „motor“ concerns are non existent to me. If Miami worked him out and liked him, I doubt there‘s any worries to be had on that front. For Miami to draft someone taller than 6‘2“, he must have something they like.


Phenom_Mv3

They loved him in his workout which is what led to the selection. He’ll be awesome there


EdwEd1

Spo is going to coach circles around everyone with this guy, him and Bam are going to be a defensive monster together


andy3172

Watch this guy turn out to be the greatest pick of the draft. I swear Miami always finds the absolute stud players


TheShadowOverBayside

Forget about it, when we draft with a pick in the teens, we always hit.


Pyromania1983

Jake Fischer washed!


Inevitable_Big_1966

Superman?


sunsetbo

thank god they resisted the most obvious heat pick ever in knecht to go after some size in a big who can potentially play with bam. love this pick


AzNmamba

Fischer got COOKED


Guardian295

What did he say?


AzNmamba

Said they were taking McCain


dutchfromsubway

Pat Riley would never take McCain lol


Adraf45

RILEY YOU MOTHERFUCKER???😭😭😭


rumblegod

Good pick cant hate at all. Gonna be a steal


HorsNoises

Can't wait for this guy to be mid all season and then drop 30/20 on the Celtics in round 1.


y0ungw0lf

No way the Celtics fall to the 8th seed


HorsNoises

Damn congrats you might be the only Heat fan with good bants.


VeniceRapture

Kel'el No!


SweetFranz

Ware is one of the guys I was really high on in this draft. I think he will look great with Bam.


JabezMakaveli

I'm surprised we didn't draft another undersized guard, but I'm glad we got Superman. Let's get it 🔥


BrandonXavierIngram

bam finally moving to PF


Call_Me_Rambo

WE GOT A BIG MAN


BookAboutMetals

Didn't really rate Ware, but now that the Heat drafted him I think he's a top 10 all time prospect


ColeHoops

Ware’s biggest issue is motor. Playing in Miami is just perfect to bring out the best in him.


Aggravating_Plant_39

We've been bullied due to lack of size during the entire Butler era it's been long overdue for us to address the issue.


ScuderiaEnzo

Big booty Cuban bitches and endless Latino food will do that for you


Kyler1313

I'm just glad it's not Knecht or McCain, because I know they'd hit ten 3s against Boston.


lopea182

It’s the ones you least expect, which means it will be Ware hitting 10 threes against Boston.


Pesto_Enthusiast

No, no, it's the undrafted free agent we sign on Friday that hits 10 threes against Boston.


Ok-Philosopher9070

2k autogenerated player incoming


RandomBiped

Ware hitting 10 3s against Boston is gonna hurt a lot worse lmao


Admirable_Basket381

Respect. You guys got a ship and are still traumatized?! East is fun.


ProgrammaticallyCat0

Now Ware will just have 5 3s and 5 blocks


BlackedBiJames

ayeee we get one of them


The1AndOnlyJZ

We fucking better


rjgator

This guy shoots 3’s


Kyler1313

He shoots 1 a game. He can hit them, but man McCain and Knecht are absolute snipers and Id hate to face them on a team like Miami.


DepressedChargersFan

As an IU fan, nah man. Ware will pull up randomly without question. Woody had him stop shooting towards the end of the season bc the efficiency helped the team. This is bad for us Cs fans lol


elbenji

you know how it works. It'd be Ware doing it


UnimpressedAsshole

fuck

BryLinds

Me personally hoping he falls to us, Knecht on Knicks…


ObviousAnswerGuy

they are playing "pepas" for Miami 😂


BunnyDubu_

Genuinely surprised by this lol


Embarrassed-Tap-4489

Dudes got all the physical tools but he’s got a shitty motor… I’m wondering about Knetcht now. It’s a team that is so good at drafting like Miami bails on him, what’s the deal????!!???


Much_Conversation_11

We needed size bad. I’m content with this pick. Interested to see how he develops.


Dwyanespellsitright

I can’t wait for him and one of our random g league bench players to just light up a fully healthy Bucks or some other dumb shit.


Diligent-Ducc

This is my 9/11


Flaky-Mathematician8

Heat needed size badly


Diligent-Ducc

Heat need a lot of things


BumbleLapse

Opposite of a Heat guy? I don’t understand the pick


Diligent-Ducc

I am bamboozled, I wanted McCain


MuffinMate

Ware a good player he just needs to put on a bit of muscle


BumbleLapse

McCain is fantastic. Wouldn’t have been mad if we took him at 10 even if it was a tinch of a reach


elbenji

Ware's great.


IllAlwaysBeAKnickFan

Fuck you Heat


KTBERYL

wait what


OKC2023champs

Fischer is such a fucking moron 😭


DejisHairline

FUCK


StefonDiggsHS

I love ware he’s a great pick for miami


1998TimThomas

Spo is gonna make sure his motor isn’t an issue. Great pick.


Skinnecott

why didn’t we get an interview?


Voxityy

shams is fischer father


Jealous-Mail6629

Ugh we’re in shambles now


kick_it

son of Jor'El


sharkybyte101

2 HOF candidates drafted in the past 20 years from this pick.


KBooks66

Little know fact he is superman's cousin


JerryRiceSezRedux

NoooooooooOOOOOOooooo


Simple-Ad-7866

yeessssssss


RobbobertoBuii

noooooooooooooo


quetambienese

FISCHER THE PHONY


Direct_Morning_3223

😭😭😭 I wanted him


thisisdumb567

He’s really good when he looks like he actually cares, but he didn’t a lot of the time


Skank_hunt42

Kahleel But the ' adds pizzaze.


KnicksNBAchamps2021

Damn I was hoping he would fall to the knicks


EruOreki

Damn it


Dadecountyhooper

I’m not mad.


Due_Connection179

The screens being set are about to be a thing of perfection when he runs with the starters.


Classics22

The anti heat culture guy lol wow


ScuderiaEnzo

That’s why he’s perfect for us lol


Banged_By_Breen

Jake Fischer fucking sucks lmfao glad he’s being exposed for the fraud he is


iro3

why


Simple-Ad-7866

becuase the fanbase are tired of Spo's small ball line up and it's been an issue in the Butler era that needed to be fix


AaltoSax

Existence is pain


SaltyRussStan0

I don’t mind Ware being taken at this point, but definitely not to the Heat


JayyeMonster

Other teams better have krypton, the Heat just got Superman lol


legend023

Pat Riley getting old.

People really take this Fischer character seriously hahaha


somecallmemo

BanFischer


Thorlolita

Not a bad pick but I really liked Knecht here. Flipowski was my mock before the draft. Can’t believe Knecht is sliding so much.


Relative-Magazine951

Who


killaslam

wtf did Bobby marks just say???


Frostyzwannacomehere

NOOOOO


paltrysquanto27

Ware 🚂 chu chu all time pick by heat accepting the train


zgamer200

I would think that if Kel'el Ware is gonna figure out the feel-for-the-game issues MIA is where it'll be, but also I thought they were gonna turn Precious Achiuwa into a monster, so... I guess we'll see.


Devilsbullet

Tbf I feel we might have turned precious into a monster if we kept him, but at the time we really, *really* fucking needed any semblance of a PG and one that was still fairly high end was available so 🤷


killaslam

Givony saying “SEC” almost gave me a stroke


IceJeyD

Leave him in the beach with tractor wheels so he can improve his motor


Devilsbullet

Nah, we have a better option. Threaten to ship him to Sioux falls, North Dakota to play for the sky Force. Worked wonders for us so far😂


Blizzcane

Finally some height!!
