Wes Goldberg and David Ramil ask if this Finals run has made them a more attractive destination and what stars Miami could be targeting. Plus, they look ahead to Monday night’s Game 5 and ask what the Heat have to do to extend the NBA Finals.

We need a nice big and Jakob poetl would be the perfect fit next to bam to move over to the 4 and he's a cheap well coached big that would florish in this culture. Especially if we get dame

Celtics fan. I enjoyed your team’s attitude in our series and your podcast during that series and the finals. Good luck.
When you repeat something and people slowly begin to believe it, it’s called, “the (illusory) truth effect”
Joe Namath actually Won The Super Bowl, after his prediction tho🤣
Kyrie would be solid in Miami. He can make the offense go when it stagnates
The Duncan point is Spot On… Your overall assets improvement is also
Gimme the 3-1 comeback and no ring for the rest of the franchises days and I'm OK with it
Being honest gotta try for Lillard or Kyrie, but the glaring spot is the 5, on the Nuggets P/R, Jokic is KILLIN 'EM, we need a Steven Adams…or True 7 footer that has the lateral movement to stay in front of Jokic. He's hard to defend but not impossible.
Get Kristaps Pozingis!!! Younger version of Brook Lopez. Ship Strus. Re-sign Gabe Vincent. Move Bam to the 4. Caleb 6th man. Jovic upgraded to second off bench.
I see an eventual Colin sexton grab tbh, may not be to people's liking but I have to assess finding a peak moment in the season to trade tyler. Whats frustrating is he can't be available in the playoffs to assess his skillset. I for one don't believe he can be a playoff performer when he doesn't have the speed, ball handling and finishing ability to up his game.
He's easily guarded while simultaneously having a large share of offensive responsibility on the team, your basically asking for your team to get shutout if your heavily payed 2 guard is locked out
You guys don’t understand, Jimmy is not the problem but his supportive crews and the coaching staff !!!
if dame isnt coming to us if we lose the finals then lets waive the flag now and get damien lilard and win it next year
Fans and media will appreciate this team, we will remember them like we have with the 03 team but lets be honest…..is time for Mickey to spend and Pat to bring in the big guns. Enough being second fiddle
Anything can happen guys, Jimmy is not a quitter but his supportive crews chicken out!!! Blame the coach for not playing Highsmith and blame Max , Caleb and Gabe…zeller and Kevin need to retire…Miami is going to win game 5
Ayton or KAT please
Lets go Heat 🔥
Easy, cheap and still very good back up 5 would be Boogie Cousins who is currently playing in Puerto Rico
Wes refuses to wait for the theme song to finish. 😂
Kanye Wes ❤ to be a debbie downer
Nuggets fan enjoys the way you cover the heat. Appreciate you guys' good work.
Miami Heat is like a wounded horse in battle, please Nuggets be merciful and end its misery by driving the last graceful stockade (in game 5) through Heat's heart! This next Monday 12 in game 5 put an end to this massacre because this finals is no longer competitive and has become too painful to watch!.Is like watching a full grown pitbull shredding to pieces a Chihuahua 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I aay send w.e we can for Lillard and lers go after Brooke Lopez to help Bam down low. A starting lineup up :
Vincent
Lillard
Butler
Bam
Lopez
Would win a chip for sure
Heat don’t have the pieces to get Lillard unless Portland does Lillard a favor. The idea you’re going to get siakam and lillard is a friggin dream
it's not the offseason yet, but if the Heat are unable to come back then I look forward to seeing what happens. Through the first 4 games it's clear they haven't been good enough, or at least not good enough on a consistent enough basis to win, compared to how Denver has played. But we'll get there when we get there; right now the focus has to be on just winning Game 5
Regarding the two stars news could it be something like a Dame and a jerami grant package… which would help Shore up the two positions we need the most help in ? 🤔🤔🤔
David is in denial in regards to how dire and bleak things looked prior to this run. This shit was critical to making adequate free agency moves.
This off-season for our front office should be all about Lillard! Dame openly admitted he wants to be here and considering everything hes done for Portland they should accommodate his request.
Miami will NOT get a star-level player by offering bullshit or junk players. No team will be stupid enough to send Miami a star for Duncan Robinson and Kyle Lowry, Tyler Herro, or any number of guys they currently have on their roster. If the Heat are not willing to offer Jimmy Butler, or Bam Adebyo, THEY WILL NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THEY ARE NOW! They just don't have any leverage to get a star-level player. They are stuck with keeping Adebayo, Butler, Herro, Robinson and the rest of the team. This current team WILL NEVER WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP! That's why I love the Lakers. They are willing to entertain trading ANYONE on their team to make them better and win a championship. That's why the Lakers have 17 championships. Like Boston (who also has 17 championships) they are willing to put everything on the line to improve. It is no other teams's responsibility to help Miami build a championship. The Heat will HAVE to trade Adebayo or Butler if they are serious about winning a ring. They are NOT getting Damian Lillard and they can forget about that.
Hear me out on this.
Do the Heat need Dame or do they just need a healthy Tyler Herro in the playoffs and more size
Suns want to trade Ayton, that's who the Heat should target, a true Center to put Bam at the 4 where he belongs
Suns want another veteran PG to replace CP3 & roster depth, the Heat could give them Lowry's expiring contract, a role player or two and some picks for Ayton, who's cheaper, younger and fills more needs for Miami than Dame
Ayton is from the Bahamas and would be motivated to be productive in Miami, where he'd be closer to home
PG: Vincent
SG: Herro
SF: Butler
PF: Bam
C: Ayton
Bring back Kevin Love
This is the kind of content I live for.
I cant wait till Heat trade away young pieces for Dame…lol…this team was already the 8th seed…you think Jimmy and Dame playing 65+ games each?
Where is the report from Windhorst
