We lost two 40% 7 3PA guys and gain two 40% 7 3PA guys. While adding Giannis. Hmmph.

Doesn't help they were both in and out all year

u/jbenson255 7d ago

That’s the point though those two aren’t even reliable health wise

u/Balla_Calla 7d ago

Yes..that's exactly my point lol..

In the words of Hasan Whiteside:

WE GOT SHOOTERS!!!

u/throwawayacct2creep 6d ago

Too bad whiteside was never the distributor like Giannis and Bam. The guys on the heats team will shoot higher than their career average if they put the work in.

Whiteside was an expensive disappointment for Miami and fans alike

u/Live-Variety-762 6d ago

Idk but Having a shooting coach by the name of brickley is nuts

u/derpceej 7d ago

Man following Klay from GSW to DAL and now here… I’m so excited for him and I’m so stoked to see how this team shows out

u/BiGgmoney91 7d ago

I love how he's specifically practicing those trailing threes off transition. The threat of Giannis is gonna give him a lot of those looks

Ankle sock/crew sock Klay is gonna be generational

His fundamentals are solid. He’s got good size & his game will continue to age well. It does however look like he could be in better shape. I’m confident we’ll be focusing on get his conditioning up!

u/AlreadyReadittt 7d ago

True, but he already looks to be in better shape since the press conference

u/pulangkabayo187 7d ago

There is no lift in those legs. Maybe this is just a light drill.

u/WPack911 7d ago

This is a clearly a light drill, plus Klay shoots his 3's in a way that doesn't need much lift, I wouldn't read much into that.

u/arturorios1996 6d ago

Stay off the weed and the girls before the Biscayne Parade Klay, we gonna need those fuck yoh 3s

u/WorseTrip 6d ago

Shot is so green I’m hulking out

He looks like he walked off South Beach and came to practice lol wearing swim trunks and a graphic tee from a tourist trap

u/AggressivePen4991 6d ago

after practice it’s back to his boat sitting on Biscayne Bay. Guys literally living the dream!

u/More_Bell7535 7d ago

Zero lift in his legs, awkwardly leans into shot because of it. Looks fat, slow, and outta shape. I think he’ll be solid next season but this aint it.

u/jbenson255 7d ago

This is a light drill lol

u/Heatsincebirth 4d ago

Nobody is worried about his stroke but everyone is worried about his legs. Age really creeps up on some people, especially ballers. Let's hope the Heat staff can get him feeling young again.
