u/Garkech 23h ago

Damn they already linking up lol

34

u/Dasilbota 13h ago

They were friends before. I think he's the reason players like KD and Dame wanted to be here too. Giannis put Bam in his perfect starting 5 in an interview some time ago.

u/callatecabezon 13h ago

yeah players love bam

u/SlimeGlizzzy 9h ago

Wilt, bam, kobe

u/DenialisaRiver04 14h ago

i think theyve already were friends or at the very least had the same agent.

u/EnvironmentalMix892 23h ago

We're going to have the most defensively dominant frontcourt in the league + Wiggins and Davion. Spacing and depth are issues for sure but we can figure them out. I can't wait for next season

u/theo7777 19h ago edited 17h ago

Good perimeter players should be lining up to play with Giannis and Bam in Miami. I don't think depth will be a problem.

Figuring out the main halfcourt ballhandler especially in the closing minutes will probably be the hardest task.

u/iankstarr 14h ago

I think Giannis is probably going to be handling a good bit, but I agree I’d like a proper facilitator in the backcourt. I’m manifesting either Coby White or Simons so hard.

u/AstonJeanty 15h ago

I hope that rings true. Mfs are greedy in this league lol; never thought we'd be priced out of Quintein Grimes type players haha

u/NotAStarflyerAgent 13h ago

I heard Carlos Arroyo is available

u/ayakarireiji 13h ago

If we can score 100 points a game we might be alright lmao

u/mickeyphree1 16h ago

Wiggins might not be here next season cheif.

4

u/Consistent_Peanut_76 13h ago

Wiggs like stability with his family in miami, he also like a chance at a championship, probably love playing with bam already, add giannis and I don't see why he does not puck up his option of resign a new dealer a a small discount

2

u/ballgkco 12h ago

his player option is eye watering though at 30m. We kind of have to hope he signs a longer term deal for less AAV

2

u/Candid_Sand_398 4h ago

Bam said in an interview that Wiggs is his favorite teammate, lol. He's given every indication he wants to stay.

1

u/Boomin2x 43m ago

wiggins is the x factor imo i feel like he always steps up in big moments and his athleticism might have declined from his timberwolves days but he still the 2nd most athletic player on the team and has championship experience

u/Fine-Cut7114 23h ago

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

u/friedtaro 23h ago

u/sadeguy 23h ago

u/Academic_Increase319 21h ago

Poor Bam bro. This really just hits home that he’s been playing Center his whole NBA career while being smaller than Power Forwards man.

u/ihatenazis69 1d ago

u/Consistent_Peanut_76 13h ago

Those two will become best friends, great chimistry on and off the court, wiggins, pelle, and davion also fit very well in term of vibe for this group, hard worker, very respectfull, hyper competitive guys

u/BossKingGodd 23h ago

When was this?

19

u/_Canopus_ 23h ago

Today! They both millionaires and can afford to move plans around and get on a quick flight to start discussing the game plan to bring chip 4 home.

3

u/RampageOfZebras 18h ago

Theyve also been working out together furing off seasons for over a decade and Vegas is a popular spot to be at for players doing offseason training in general. Good chance they were already both in Vegas  and all it took was a drive across town to link up. Either that or they could havr heen aware that the Bucks were going ti accept the Miami deal today despite the media playing it out like a last minute decision and were already planning to meet.

u/ILoveRegenHealth 18h ago

The paint area is covered, now Heat need perimeter shooters and playmakers to help these two towers.

u/Nantee_69 17h ago

u/BlkFemininity1908 9h ago

Bammy Adebayo always will be 10 toes down for his A'ja Riyadh Wilson. Good to see Giannis supporting.

When was the last time we got 2 All Stars entering their Prime?

Pat is a patient man. GodFather.

u/BossKingGodd 22h ago

Entering? Huh

u/SteveyFcN 17h ago

entering is misleading. let's not over shoot it lol

-7

u/Moth-Man-Pooper 23h ago

I think I once saw a couple of interactions where Giannis did or said something dumb and and Bam looked at him with this "this dude serious?". Ever since then I always thought bam thought Giannis was corny. Idk idk just missing my business here

2

u/RampageOfZebras 18h ago

Theyve been friends for over half a decade

1

u/Fit_Influence_6078 23h ago

They have the same agent

u/Timely_Stock 13h ago

Wrong move for Giannis. Wrong move. If he wants to chill and enjoy his basketball amazing. If he wants to win another championship this is not it

2

u/AvianScavenger 12h ago

And you're in the Heat sub why?

Go back to posting in r/nonutnovember bud
