48% Informative

The Heat has a good, young, fun core with upside at the ready, ( Kel’el Ware , Nikola Jovic , Davion Mitchell ) and good, experienced vets in their prime, ( Bam Adebayo , Tyler Herro , Andrew Wiggins ) Q: If the Heat pivot to DeMar DeRozan (mid-range game and old) or Ja Morant (poor judgement on and off court), I am done. The Heat will have proven that they lost their way. The team has irrationally fallen love with its own players and completely overestimates their trade value..

Kevin Durant had the Heat on his three -team wish list, but the Suns weren’t interested.

The Heat hold their first -round pick for 2026 , so if ever there was going to be a gap year and playing the lottery odds next season could be such an opportunity.
