Miami Heat adding defender Davion Mitchell in trade | Five on the Floor
Well, PJ Tucker didn’t stick around long. Details are still coming in, as Ethan and Alex record just prior to the trade deadline. But the Miami Heat have added to their return for Jimmy Butler: a defensive-minded guard named Davion Mitchell they have long liked.

I loved Butler until he refused to fulfill his contract and not show up to help us win. He pouted his way to Golden State and we are fortunate enough to get Wiggins back. I have loved Wiggins since I first saw him play at Kansas. Coach Self teaches on the ball defense better than anyone in college. And Davion Mitchel is a great on ball defender, he was best player on the Baylor Nat Champ team. Wig was ROY and a better 3-pt shooter than Jimmy. Love both guys
Mitchel over Duncan in the starting lineup cause Duncan can play d for shit
Mitchell is a stud and great athlete (like a great running back or wide receiver). Even at 6-foot he weighs over 200. My starters; Bam and Wig at forward, Ware center, Tyler shot guard and Davion Mitchell at the point. Athletic, young legs but with the experience of Bam at Olympics and Wig winning NBA tile in 22 and almost getting the MVP. He stopped Tatum in Finals. We're a ton better than with Butler; we won the trade war. Jovic is growing rapidly, becoming a star
Pat beat the allegation…not sure what else could have been done realistically without trading away the future….off-season they can finish the job.
This team is just a star away from contending.
Lowkey I did want to see the og intro just one more time π
I like slow mo. Better than JJJ right now
Where is Bruce Brown!?π«’ππ
Get off the Jimmy slander , you don't hear too many players criticizing what he did FO are like bad supervisors and managers , know one knows really what happened, not even the people on these podcasts π
Gonna miss this song. But we must move on
Davion doesnt fix the offensive hole in the backcourt, solid pickup though. Lets see how the O looks going forward
Mitchell is a project. As of right now he is a Norris Coles project.
So you're saying there's like 1-2 people in the world that are better perimeter defenders than Mitchell… he'll be aight
Thought they'd call Indy about one of their PGs maybe Nemhard
I still think this team could use a true point guard. That said, I think the team has gotten significantly better.
The WHOLE thing goes back to Jimmy not attending the Dec 2023 Christmas Party at Riley's house…..it upset Rileys wife, and Riles was never the same about Butler. But why keep JB around and take potshots at him about keeping his mouth shut, etc, if your upset with him ?? Just trade him before ANY of this predictable Drama happens, last summer !!! To me – Riles was just as unprofessional as JB. Just not cool. If you never intended on Extending his Contract…then TRADE HIM for max value ! Isn't that Front Office 101 ???? Wow
Miami loses leads what cause they start playing dumb basketball and taking dumb shots with all the turnovers FACTS π―
They correct that we and the championship with the players that we have now π― π¬
There's hope, yet Terry is still here…
Love the OG intro ππ«‘
Good pickups, now Heat just needs to get rid of Terryble
Jimmy Butler didn't play that way with the heat after watching his warrior Dubuque he tried to sabotage the heat
another scrub that canβt hoop at all smh
