It looks like Miami doesn't plan to trade Jaquez. Yay! I thought since we are all out of guacs (original and Big Guac) we have an opening for a new guac. I'm thinking we need a nickname for Jaquez with a Cali/Mex angle. (El Guaco, Spicy Guac, Cali Guac, Chili Guac, Hot Guac, L.A. Guac, etc.). Any thoughts? Have your people call my people. Meanwhile, check out his UCLA highlight video where he was second team All-American, two time PAC-12 All Defensive Team and PAC-10 Player of The Year. After looking at the film again, a thought occured to me. With a little tutelage under Kyle Lowry, this guy looks like someone who could make a great point guard. Like a combo Guac+Alex Caruso+Max Strus+Marcus Smart. JJ has a ring to it. P.S. His parents call him "Jaimito" (Little Jaime) since his dad is "Jaime." Jaimito just won't fly when you are being compared to Marcus Smart or Alex Caruso.

Has anyone been watching the FIBA basketball?

Are there any Heat players or alumni on any international teams? No Heat players for the US, but Spo is a coach. I'm sure it's a good experience for him to share a bench with Steve Kerr and Ty Lue. In the past, the Heat have hung banners for Gold Medal winners. Would Spo get his name in the rafters?
