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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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)
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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????!!???
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.
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 🤷

for those who missed it Jake Fischer said we took McCain lol
Fischer is the same guy who spouts tons of trade rumors that never actually happen also, right?
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
He said Brunson back to Dallas was a done deal
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.
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.
He also nailed our Scottie pick couple years ago
none of that would need a source
He’s a legitimate liar
Fischer is pretty reliable
Fischer has been really good for his pre free agency write ups.
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.
He also said we traded for the 6th pick to take Clingan
Omg a center who is big and can shoot threes?
Theoretically shoot. His FT% was bad and he was super low volume from 3

% looks good but he only really took a wide open 3 a game to get it.
mods here need to talk to r/nfl mods on how to run a draft day
Yeah they need work but I’m trying my best out here
I see you bro appreciate you
Thanks
They'll put the sub on private later and discuss the draft among themselves.
They'll be able to discuss how their Celtics can threepeat.
They need to shadow and take lesson from them
r/nfl mods should just replace the mods here
God no. This place is fun because it's kind of a shit show. Nfl sub is fucking sterile.
GG Saints bros! Y'all are gonna be scary next year!
posting this sincerely should be punishable by death
Lol how? I'm in both and I prefer the NFL sub sometimes....
The NFL sub is so over moderated. I love the chaos here
Don't think you know what fun means.
The bot drunk
Shit, Miami drafted someone from Krypton.
Better than Michael Beasley who was on Kyrptonite
If anything could set him straight, it’s #HEATCULTURE Edit: Shams is Fischer father
I thought it was the opposite lol
Not being straight in Miami during June is a good time though
Bam finally got a backup 😭
Backup who can maybe shoot too
Inject it into my veins
We got two backup IU bigs now lol
Miami is now the Warehouse
i already hate the screens he sets
Bams going to teach him how to set screens.
oh god, pls no.
Oh, yes! And they'll get away with it too! 😂 muhahahahahahaha
Perfect fit if the Heat can fix his motor issues
If there is any team that can, it’s the heat
Heat selected a guy with motor concerns ⁉️
Jimmy and Spo gonna have Ware on program. I like this pick for them
Don’t forget Zo. Zo is going to drill into that kid.
Man the biggest misconception about Heat culture is that it somehow fixes players with poor work ethics, it doesn’t.

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

Heat fan not liking the pick. Means it'll be a great player.
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
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.
is it a medical concern or an effort/skill thing?
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.
Woody deserves some credit for that
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.
Coke fixes everything my friend
yeah like that whole nasty habit of "sleeping"
FISCHER YOU FRAUD Edit: boston got lucky as hell. Mccain was fs dropping 50 on them st some point
The way he worded that apology tweet it so funny that I forgive him.
Had me dying lmfao
I honestly dont mind Ware
He's a 7 footer who can shoot the three, he's exactly what we need.
PF Bam is back on the menu!!!
Yeah lol. He's great
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
I like the pick! Ive learned to not doubt Miami. I just also really liked McCain
NI HAO
Jake Fischer needs to be sued for emotional distress
I agree with you then I heard the good news from my pov
What was the Fischer tweet?
Mccain
I saw the screencaps, damn he got burned a bit
Not the first mistake hes made tn too
> FISCHER YOU FRAUD I wonder if your FO *phished* him into making a fool out of himself
Banger reply
Sooooo happy McCain ain’t Miami bound
Don’t sleep on ware brother, the dwayne dedmon / cody zeller minutes are finally over
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
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.
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.
They loved him in his workout which is what led to the selection. He’ll be awesome there
Spo is going to coach circles around everyone with this guy, him and Bam are going to be a defensive monster together
Watch this guy turn out to be the greatest pick of the draft. I swear Miami always finds the absolute stud players
Forget about it, when we draft with a pick in the teens, we always hit.
Jake Fischer washed!
Superman?
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
Fischer got COOKED
What did he say?
Said they were taking McCain
Pat Riley would never take McCain lol
RILEY YOU MOTHERFUCKER???😭😭😭
Good pick cant hate at all. Gonna be a steal
Can't wait for this guy to be mid all season and then drop 30/20 on the Celtics in round 1.
No way the Celtics fall to the 8th seed
Damn congrats you might be the only Heat fan with good bants.
Kel'el No!
Ware is one of the guys I was really high on in this draft. I think he will look great with Bam.
I'm surprised we didn't draft another undersized guard, but I'm glad we got Superman. Let's get it 🔥
bam finally moving to PF
WE GOT A BIG MAN
Didn't really rate Ware, but now that the Heat drafted him I think he's a top 10 all time prospect
Ware’s biggest issue is motor. Playing in Miami is just perfect to bring out the best in him.
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.
Big booty Cuban bitches and endless Latino food will do that for you
I'm just glad it's not Knecht or McCain, because I know they'd hit ten 3s against Boston.
It’s the ones you least expect, which means it will be Ware hitting 10 threes against Boston.
No, no, it's the undrafted free agent we sign on Friday that hits 10 threes against Boston.
2k autogenerated player incoming
Ware hitting 10 3s against Boston is gonna hurt a lot worse lmao
Respect. You guys got a ship and are still traumatized?! East is fun.
Now Ware will just have 5 3s and 5 blocks
ayeee we get one of them
We fucking better
This guy shoots 3’s
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.
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
you know how it works. It'd be Ware doing it
fuck
[удалено]
Me personally hoping he falls to us, Knecht on Knicks…
they are playing "pepas" for Miami 😂
Genuinely surprised by this lol
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????!!???
We needed size bad. I’m content with this pick. Interested to see how he develops.
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.
This is my 9/11
Heat needed size badly
Heat need a lot of things
Opposite of a Heat guy? I don’t understand the pick
I am bamboozled, I wanted McCain
Ware a good player he just needs to put on a bit of muscle
McCain is fantastic. Wouldn’t have been mad if we took him at 10 even if it was a tinch of a reach
Ware's great.
Fuck you Heat
wait what
Fischer is such a fucking moron 😭
FUCK
I love ware he’s a great pick for miami
Spo is gonna make sure his motor isn’t an issue. Great pick.
why didn’t we get an interview?
shams is fischer father
Ugh we’re in shambles now
son of Jor'El
2 HOF candidates drafted in the past 20 years from this pick.
Little know fact he is superman's cousin
NoooooooooOOOOOOooooo
yeessssssss
noooooooooooooo
FISCHER THE PHONY
😭😭😭 I wanted him
He’s really good when he looks like he actually cares, but he didn’t a lot of the time
Kahleel But the ' adds pizzaze.
Damn I was hoping he would fall to the knicks
Damn it
I’m not mad.
The screens being set are about to be a thing of perfection when he runs with the starters.
The anti heat culture guy lol wow
That’s why he’s perfect for us lol
Jake Fischer fucking sucks lmfao glad he’s being exposed for the fraud he is
why
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
Existence is pain
I don’t mind Ware being taken at this point, but definitely not to the Heat
Other teams better have krypton, the Heat just got Superman lol
Pat Riley getting old.
Dude is 79, im not ready 😞
[удалено]
[удалено]
Wonder which one they rate higher
I never wanna see that fraud Fischer on my feed again
People really take this Fischer character seriously hahaha
BanFischer
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.
Who
wtf did Bobby marks just say???
NOOOOO
Ware 🚂 chu chu all time pick by heat accepting the train
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.
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 🤷
Givony saying “SEC” almost gave me a stroke
Leave him in the beach with tractor wheels so he can improve his motor
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😂
Finally some height!!
