In the first game of the Miami Heat’s summer league season, the past two first round picks (Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez Jr.) both were exceptional. But what does it mean, with a Dame Lillard trade still looming? Should Miami try to keep one, or both, even if it means losing Caleb Martin? Ethan, Greg, Alex and Brady assess their games, and try to project what’s next.

Congrats 5 reasons
I really want to see a closing lineup of Dame, Caleb, Bam, and Jimmy, but if Blazers won't budge without Martin then sacrifices must be made
Dame isn't Shaq!
Jovic should be untouchable!
so they had him bulk up because he was 6'11 205, now hes atleast 230, which he needed to play the 4 or the 5, but hes the ideal 4 next to bam
Listen Dame is the truth but he wants to play with Caleb, he wants to play with Bam he wants to play woth Bernie we wants Portland to trade to the heat . Somewhere we can't pls him. If they want Caleb and we keep the two rookies. Do it!
The ouch part is losing Herro. We can’t give up Herro Jovic JJJ and all their 1st rounders for Dame. You’re giving up the entire future. Heat will still be too small.
Maybe next year. Blazers will decimate Heat by asking for so many players for Dame. Heat needs to wait it out next year when Dame is a free agent. He can sign to whichever team he want. I will not give away Jaime, Caleb, Tyler, Jovic for Dame. No way no how. You people thinking about winning now, think about this team right now. Without Dame. Heat can win it all.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. truely the younger version of Jaime Butler!
Hope they keep him in addition to Ben Simmons!
Ben Simmons would be a great addiotion to the heat even the heat dont get Dame! 🔥
GO GET BOL BOL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are in Jimmy's schedule so Heat needs to move whomever, except Bam, to get the trade for Dame done. That's the only move at this time. Heat can worry about the future in the future.
Everyone is on the table for trade with Bam and Jimmy. Done
Young Joker is the truth
Yall do know we're talking about a 33 yr young Dame right. Not 26 yr young LBJ & CB. I can understand trading a lot for those two superstars but not the whole house for just Dame. Really? Now, I want him but for the whole house.
what is the name of the song in intro?
The thing that concerns me is how fast does Dame decline at age 33 I mean look at what just happened with Lowry. Shaq was younger when they acquired him by comparison. Who plays well beyond mid thirties sans Bron MJ
Jovic has big potential but he can’t help us yet….
This was one of the best episode you guys have done. Great chemistry between the rumor mill, in game analysis, thinking about the future and Heat GUTS
I reaaaaallly don’t want to give up the young guys 😢
Hey guys,why is Lowry not traded yet?
I'd rather keep both Jaquez and Jovic simply because caleb has a player option next year, so he's basically an expiring contract, once you get Dame, you have no cap for years, they're both on cheap rookie deals that can help you on the floor or in future trades.
We are at the point of no return with the Dame shenanigans now. Tyler is pissed and probably play not to win but to pad stats so he can leave. He will be toxic this season, so we need to trade him now. Poor kid, but he will win a chip before Jimmy and Dame.
How many times in NBA history has a team traded the future for a high-scoring star that’s never won anything…and the trade set back the team for yrs.
Dame will end up destroying the Heat, the dude is just another high volume scorer who has never learned to actually win anything…
I preferred to give Martin than the two young players.
Just get Woods and another scorer. Gutting the team for Dame wont ensure a championship
Keep Jovic and let Caleb go…. Caleb could've been ECF MVP, but he turned back into Caleb Martin in the Finals…Caleb is a good player, but I think Josh will be able to do those same things
Jamie looks like he's in much better shape, than he was in college… He has some DOGG in him too… Not sure about his ceiling tho… I think Jovic ceiling is Really High
Congratulations on the Top 10 Ranking…. 1,000% Deserved… You guys are Great… By Far my Favorite local Podcast, One of my Favorite Podcast overall… Rather i agree or not. Salute 💯
Whatever happens, Heat will always be a contender. With or without Dame.
Keep on with the good work guys!! Some great insight!
Congratulations on the top 10 podcast!
I'm not comfortable just giving away all our depth that we've molded into our team already just kinda feels like we don't know how this will all mix together
