They have a nice young core but there gonna regret trading the heat pick. The 2020 hs class who will be in the 2021 draft is one of the best we’ve seen in years and the Heat roster is not very good and in three years Dragic will be past his prime and that’s not a very good roster.

The Suns make it seem like that’s too far away like they must compete next year or else lol. Sixers are contending now and still have the patience to wait on a possible powerball lotto ticket why can’t the Suns?

That’s what happens when you have a desperate gm who doesn’t care about the future because he’s trying to save his job

I didn't like seeing the pick move at first, but the deal is growing on me. The Heat are one of the worst teams to expect to tank. It's just not their culture. Right now even without a superstar, the Heat find a way to win. Spo is one of the better coaches in the league. 3 years from now they will have plenty of cap space in one of the most attractive free agent destinations. It's not crazy to think the Heat will be good 3 years from now, especially in the east.

The Suns are getting a top 10 2018 prospect (who can help now and in the future) instead of gambling in 3 years. I don't think it's such a bad deal.

I don’t think Bridges is a much better prospect then Zhaire. Bridges has been overrated defensively imo

As far as the Heat not tanking teams can still be bad even when they’re not trying to

The Nets weren’t trying to be bad when the Celtics got their picks but guys got old quick especially Deron

"I don't understand what people see in Zhaire Smith.He's a great athlete, but he plays like a 6'2 garbage man.Can barely handle the ball/has no natural ability to go ISO.People are just blinded by his leaping ability.I don't wanna hear the "Oh he's young"....Players either have it or they don't.Zhaire has no nuance to his game.I think he'll be a valuable energy guy off the bench, but I don't see a PLAYER when I look at his film.Mikal Bridges will be a top 5 player from this class.He's the ultimate 3 & D guy.That being said, the Sixers did a great job of wrestling that unprotected 2021 Miami pick from the Suns."


I saw this on another board.It's exactly how I feel about Zhaire Smith.Sixers already had a player like Smith in K.J. McDaniels.

McDaniel's had better size, tho.Only way I'd buy into Zhaire's potential is if he showed the ability to score one on one.I see none of that

in his scout videos.That's something that players have naturally.Whether they're 25 or 12.As an undersized perimeter player, it's a must.

You MUST be able to excel in ISO.I see Zhaire as a 6th/7th man off the bench/energy plug/crowd pleaser.


I don’t even have Zhaire projected to be a productive role player. Rarely do we see a player that doesn’t have one decent translatable skill stick in the NBA...

He reminds me of DJ Stephens that used to play for Memphis. Stephens was a more athletic and 6’5 but this dude is 6’3 :picard:


Once again I swear these people in the NBA dnt know what the fukk going on.
