Rich Paul on the Heats future roster moves 👀 “The word shooting is very misleading… in the playoffs you need a guy that has the skill set of shooting, with also the skill set of playmaking. You gotta have guys who can put the ball on the floor… If you’re them, you want a $30M guy, that you got for $18M. If you can pull that off, you’re in good shape. Or a $40M guy.” (Via Game Over)

Patrick Beverly says the WORST case scenario for Giannis and Bam, is David Robinson and Tim Duncan: “Giannis to the Heat? It’s over with…. The league has changed. Y’all bout to see Giannis look how LeBron looked when he was with the Heat. Worst case scenario for him and Bam, Tim Duncan and David Robinson!” (Via Patrick Beverley) 🔥

The Heat know that Jaylen Brown is on the table, and are searching for 3rd and 4th teams to get involved to improve their offer for Giannis, per Brian Windhorst “If Jaylen Brown doesn’t get traded for Giannis, they may trade him somewhere else. Miami understands that Jaylen Brown is in there. They can’t match that. Miami in recent days has gone out to try and recruit 3rd and 4th teams to improve their offer. They don’t have a premium player, like a Jaylen Brown. The most premium asset they have to trade is the 13th pick in tomorrows draft. Which is a good piece, but it’s not Jaylen Brown.”

Stephen A Smith says he’d consider retiring if he got traded from Miami, to Milwaukee 😳 “Your heart goes out to guys like Tyler Herro.. Kel’el Ware… it’s hard going from Miami to Milwaukee. That is not an easy transition to make, socially… When you think about your quality of life from Miami to Milwaukee? Oh my god. I think if it were me, I’d cry. I’d contemplate retirement” (Via Stephen A Smith)

BREAKING: The Bostin Celtics are the favorites to land Giannis, per Chris Haynes "The Boston Celtics are the front runners to land Giannis Antetokounmpo.... I can expect something to be done by end of the day but if not, most definitely by the draft. Right now I'm hearing the Boston Celtics, not the Miami Heat are the favorites to land him in a trade."

Kendrick Perkins LOVES the Giannis and Bam fit for the Heat: “I love it. Defensively they’re gonna be a problem. If they’re not a top 5 defensive team in the league I gotta start looking at Bam and Giannis sideways…. No matter who they put around them, they should be top 5. If I’m the Heat, I actually love the duo. I think it challenges Bam to continue to get better. His ability to stretch the floor and knock down 3s consistently is going to be at an all time high. The only reason Rudy and KAT was able to work and co exist, was because KAT ability to stretch the floor. Bam has those same capabilities” (Via Martel Llewellyn /

Rich Paul says the Heat roster will look totally different by the time the season starts: “Bobby Portis can really shoot…. One other thing you’re getting, you’re getting Pros. Giannis and Bobby Portis, people talk about ‘Heat Culture’, they don’t need it. These are adults going into a locker room with the understanding of what this is all about. This team could look totally different. There’s a lot of work to be done. The one good thing about Miami is, when you talk about back filling a roster with minimums, who don’t want to go to Miami on a minimum?” (Via Game Over)

Brian Windhorst tells story of LeBron being stunned that he was getting booed his first year in Miami after a game in Memphis: “That was one of the things that stunned LeBron so much. I can still remember his 2nd or 3rd week his first year in Miami, the team went to Memphis. They got booed mercilessly in Memphis. LeBron after the game was like ‘why am I getting booed in Memphis!!? What did I ever say or do to Memphis?’ He was coming to realization that the casuals and neutrals were against him.” (Via

Colin Cowherd says LeBron James is EXACTLY what the Heat need: “He likes the warm weather, he’s a golfer now. You can golf year round in Miami… Miami is on fire. It’s a fun city, he’s been there. It works. Miami with Giannis, Bam, and Portis, what do they need? Shot creation…. Scoring and facilitating is what MIA will be struggling with. Spo, Riley, LeBron, Giannis, Bam, Portis, Wiggins, Bronny, that’s a squad.” The media is starting to push the LeBron to Miami narrative 👀 (Via Herd w/Colin Cowherd)

Shams on the Giannis trade 👀 Shams: I want to make this clear, whoever MIL chooses, it’s going to be a one for one deal. It’s not going to have a 3rd team, a 4th team. That doesn’t mean in 3 weeks it can’t turn into one. The Bucks would be trading to keep those players. This is clearly a team that’s taking a step back, evaluating their position, falling off as a contender. If they felt like they were a contender they wouldn’t trade Giannis Pat: it feels like you think it’s probably Miami after the reassessment Shams: As much as you can say ‘we’re getting all these players and picks from Miami, Jaylen Brown is Jaylen Brown (Via Pat McAfee)

Brian Windhorst on covering the Heat and how LeBron may feel about the organization 👀 “I admire the Heat organization so much. I value the relationships created—I learned so much listening to Riley—They conduct themselves w/ professionalism & class. I've got nothing but wonderful positive things to say about Miami—I think LeBron might feel the same. He still mimics some of the stuff Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra would say” (Via h/t Dru )

Stephen A Smith says Giannis to Miami is more IMPACTFUL than LaMelo to Minnesota: “Giannis is the more impactful deal. Consider the fact in the restricted area in the paint, the Heat ranked bottom 10 over the last several years. Giannis shot 71% from the field last year. 79% of his shots came in the paint. You’re talking about problem solution situation that the Miami Heat directly addressed… combine that with Bam Adebayo who’s a 20 and 10 player, All Star caliber player, 2x Olympic gold medalist, elite defensive player. That front line is not something to sneeze at”

Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson discuss LeBron coming to Miami: Chad: He’s not going back to LA. I can tell you that… You heard it here first… LeBron, Klay, Giannis, Bam! Shannon: I will say this about LeBron, he is one of the most forgiving people that I know… If he can forgive Dan Gilbert for the things he said, you can forgive Pat Riley for throwing the cookies in the trash. Pat said ‘I’ll leave the key under the door mat if he wanna come back.’ Pat knows what that man represents” (Via Nightcap)

Bill Simmons on the Giannis trade package: “I think Miami had to do this. They gave up an incredible amount but also an amount that If im a MIL fan, I’m like ‘wait, what did we get?’ What do you tell your 9 year old Bucks fan son? ‘Hey we just traded Giannis. We got all the other guys on a 43 win team that aren’t Bam and we got some picks that really start 4 years from now”

Giannis Antetokounmpo WILL BE traded before the draft and is focused on Boston or Miami, per Shams Charania “I want to make this clear, whichever deal occurs, it’s going to be a one for one deal. It’s going to consist of MIL and one of these two teams. There’s no 3rd and 4th teams… Giannis from my understanding is ready to be traded”

Jeff Teague loves the Heat drafting Ryan Conwell in the 2nd round: “Shout out to my boy Ryan Conwell. He went to Miami. He went to an organization that really gives 2nd rounders and undrafted real opportunities. Tyler Johnson, Duncan Robinson, Gabe Vincent, all them dudes got an opportunity in Miami. It’s not nothing but a perfect situation for Him…..He’ll f*ck around and lowkey be a starter. He can shoot the ball and he can guard” (Via Club520podcast)

The Morris brothers are VERY HIGH on Giannis joining the Heat: Markieff: I’m very high on it just because the Heat Culture. The way Spoelstra puts his players in the position to win… Get a guy like a Gabe Vincent, Tim Hardaway, or a guy like Anfernee Simons to buy in off that big contract, take the MLE, or Vet min on a team with Giannis and Bam Marcus: Defensively they’ll be a juggernaut. We haven’t seen two All Star bigs on the same team since Demarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis… if it was anywhere for Giannis to go, it was Miami because he fits in a system that’ll make sure he succeeds
