“So Feb. 15, what team is LeBron on?…I honestly would say Miami. I don't know why. It's just like a weird gut feeling…If it's the right move for both sides & if Miami can look at it & go we could actually win the East if we turn Wiggins & whatever else into LeBron” @BillSimmons

“Heat have a flexible roster for trades. It's a situation that looks a little Lebron-y. I'm just going to say it. If somebody came from a time machine & said LeBron will be traded. And you had to pick a team. I think Miami would be one of the teams I’d think about.” @BillSimmons

“Big, big year coming for Ware. He’s another guy who won’t settle for anything other than being great. We’re looking forward to watching the leap he’s going to take as a second-year guy. Perfect fit w/ Bam in our versatile frontcourt. Couldn’t be happier w/ how he’s coming along”

“I’m not going to tell you where Jakucionis was on our board, but it was a heck of a lot higher than where we picked him!—He wasn’t very good in California. And he was mad about that. [In Las Vegas] he was much better. He’s not going to settle for anything other than being great”

NBA front office rankings via @CBSSportsNBA 13. Heat “The overall vision here feels outdated. The Heat appear far too comfortable being mediocre…Right now, they're just sort of stuck. There doesn't appear to be much of a long-term plan beyond waiting for someone to pick them.”

“Norman Powell’s future is a question mark. His contract expires after this season, & he could require a raise, a damning proposition in today’s NBA economy. But the Miami Heat noticed a trend in acquiring him: Scoring guards aren’t going for much on the open market.” - @FredKatz

“Does the Jakucionis apology need to be as loud as the disrespect was?” @andrewsharp “We're recording Day 2 of Summer League. As we speak, it’s halftime of a Heat game happening right over our shoulder. Jakucionis has 19 pts—Steal of the draft just like I said.” @KevinOConnorNBA

“In all, at least six sportsbooks in multiple states detected suspicious betting on Terry Rozier props [on March 23, 2023], with the bulk of the activity occurring in Louisiana and Mississippi, according to sources familiar with a report issued by U.S. Integrity.” - @DavidPurdum

“Rozier's attorney said Rozier met with NBA & FBI officials multiple times in 2023 & that the initial investigation determined that Rozier had done nothing wrong.” Heat traded for Rozier in 2024. The NBA & presumably the Hornets knew about this investigation. Did the Heat know?

A professional bettor placed 30 wagers in 46 minutes, all involving Terry Rozier in a 2023 NBA game, according to documents obtained by ESPN that reveal new details about the suspicious betting under scrutiny by federal investigators espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

“The fact Dame's going back, maybe it had to happen this way for him to find out the grass isn't always greener. He goes to Milwaukee, you feel like it's a championship situation, it's not. You wanted to go to Miami, that team has gone nowhere & is going nowhere” @KevinOConnorNBA

“The teams have maintained some communication in recent days but both have seemed to move on.” - @AnthonyIrwinLA on the Heat and Lakers Andrew Wiggins trade talks

“Personnel across several other teams — including the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers, sources said -- pursued Bradley Beal and had extensive conversations with him and Bartelstein in recent weeks.” - @ShamsCharania

“One team linked to LeBron James — the Dallas Mavericks — does not have interest in gutting its roster to match James’ salary in a trade, a team source told The Athletic.” - @DanWoikeSports & @joevardon for @TheAthletic

“If [Luka] doesn’t sign [the extension] he can be a free agent next summer when there’s going to be 10-plus teams with cap space. If he does not sign it you will see teams begin to open up maneuvers to try to chase Luka.” @WindhorstESPN (@ohnohedidnt24)
