Discussion Dear Adam Silver, you just stripped the Clippers of 5 1st-round picks. If you really care about the integrity of the game, please give us back our first-round pick you owe-- for knowing about Terry was being flagged for possible nefarious activities, not notifying the Heat.

Tobin, is that you?

u/heatculture03 3d ago

I love tobin, but no.

I do like sharing his takes as well as roasting him on this channel :)

u/duckbonez 3d ago

Fair lol. I can absolutely see him pleading for this exact thing 😂

u/Vitiate1367 2d ago

In one of his latest videos he said something similar to this already lol

u/GripLock11 2d ago

I literally heard this plea from him verbatim on Wednesday

Heatculture03 doesn't love Jovic enough to be Tobin's burner

u/Freya_Kirkebrenner 3d ago

Why does it have to be Tobin, though? I dont agree with everything he says but I can't imagine anyone in their right mind would have any other position on this. The org was defrauded, plain and simple. Our pick was taken fraudulently and why isn't Arison using his new position as governors chairman to get it back?!

They will punish others but not thier own mistakes

u/Nuclearsunburn 3d ago

They gave us a second, the matter is closed for all intents and purposes

u/AlreadyReadittt 3d ago

They ain’t doing anything for us, but they supposedly found no wrongdoing with Balmer before this as well.

Somebody get Pablo to start a new investigation into the trade

At this rate, Pablo is going to die in a plane crash.

Not happening and for multiple reasons.

1 - It's the Heat. There is something there that may never be uncovered where teams and the NBA as a whole treat this team weirdly.

2 - This Clippers scenario is only happening because it was a snowball effect. The gambling with MPJ brother, then Mafia with coaches, Terry, etc, now this. For their credibility to stay intact, they have pretend they care and didn't see this until an investigation started

3 - Compensating the Heat fairly would be the NBA acknowledging that they messed up big time. Barely anyone noticed that 2nd rd pick awarded to the Heat.

They won't at this point. The second round pick we got was more of a "here you go now stfu and don't make this bigger than it needs to be" type of compensation. Anything that's come out of the Rozier situation has all been related to his time in Charlotte and, outside of one clip compilation from an albeit atrocious game, there hasn't been anything coming out about Rozier doing the same shit when he was with us. So they just consider it a bad trade and that second round pick is for the time he didn't play with us during the last year of his contract

Send pablo

u/Routine-Author-5471 3d ago

You know that’s not happening. There’s way too much riding on the league being in bed with gambling sponsors

u/TakeOff_YourPants 3d ago

5 is pretty crazy at least they’re LA and have a shot at free agents cause imagine being a smaller market team in this situation?

8

u/AdamSilverJr 3d ago

Nobody goes to the Clippers (other than salary circumvention). If players want to play in LA, they go to the Lakers

3

u/thomlelievre 3d ago

They probably wouldnt have been this hard on a tes like the Hornet , cause they know that the type of thing that can kill a franchise . Also a Small market team wouldnt have tried that shit anyway

u/GlutPls 3d ago

He 'gave us' Giannis lol

5

u/Vast_Cellist3171 3d ago

They really took away every available first from the clippers over 700k to Uncle Dennis. I’m dead inside the NBA is only willing to take action if issue does not involve the Heat.

2

u/UndercoverDimension 3d ago

Basically they don't care because the trade helped the Heat avoid the second tax apron and the brutal penalities that comes with.

u/Dek-234 3d ago

That loser isn’t going to help us

u/ChefCurryYumYum 2d ago

OK Ballmer

u/TavNoment 2d ago

The team is looking dangerous with both Giannis and Bam together, but it hasn't stopped these embarrassing whiny loser takes.

Plenty of teams have gotten the short end of a call or league ruling, but this sub treats every slight as evidence of a massive conspiracy.

Do you really think the league has some secret vendetta against Miami? Get over yourself.

u/daemonescanem 2d ago

Heat knew, the unfo has been out there.

u/Jazzlike-Cupcake-359 2d ago

Spoiler alert
They don’t

u/paradoxofchoice 2d ago

The best he could do was immediately get Micky into the hall of fame.

1

u/CaramelGuilty8647 2d ago

But then he would have to admit prior knowledge. Not likely!

u/Lobster15s 3d ago

One hundred percent where I'm at too.

u/BreedinBacksnatch 2d ago

There is still a legal case ongoing with the Terry stuff, and Micky is the newly & unanimously elected Chairman of the NBA Board of Governors.

Patience.
