MAJOR UPDATE! Heat lose Damian lillard to Portland 😱 | Miami Heat Dream offseason Plan REVEALED

Miami Heat Nation, what is going on? So, in today’s video, we got tons of Miami Heat news coming out today. You guys are definitely going to want to stick around. And also, we do got some breaking news and very unfortunate for the Miami Heat. But before we do start today’s video, if you guys enjoy Miami Heat content, we do upload every single day. Our goal this year is to upload for 365 days, and I couldn’t do it without you guys. So, I just want to say I appreciate y’all. I love y’all. Continue to keep liking, sharing, subscribing, and let’s get back into today’s video. So, it just got reported literally like five minutes that ninetime NBA Allstar Damen Lillard is finalizing a three-year, $42 million contract to return to the Portland Trailblazers. Sources tell ESPN a deal is expected to include a player option for the 2028 two well 2027 2028 season and a no trade clause. It says a a storybook reunion home for the 35 year old. Now, I knew it was very very slim that the Miami Heat land Damian Lillard, but I’m lowkey kind of like feeling a type of way cuz it’s like Lillard, I know you’re 35 years old, you’re coming off the Achilles injury, but don’t you want to win a championship? Like, this tells me that he’s done. Like, there’s no more ring chasing. I just want to retire in Portland and call it a career. That’s all it really tells me because Portland is not in any type of direction of competing in a tough Western Conference. And also when you look at Portland, it’s like Dane Lillard, Drew Holidayiday, Scoo Henderson. Like how is that going to work out? Is this going to affect Su Henderson’s playing time? Like it’s just a lot to it. I’m just like shocked about it. But hey, it is what it is. The Miami Heat could never win the Damen Lillard sweep stakes at all. And it’s just move on from it. Now, enough of the Dame Lillard stuff. I want to start cooking Bleacher Report because I’m tired of them predicting LeBron coming to the Miami Heat. LeBron’s not coming to the Miami Heat at all. Nor do we want him. Bleacher Report predicts LeBron/Brawy to the Miami Heat trade idea where they trade Andrew Wiggins, Tay Rosar, and two first round picks for LeBron James and Bronny. Now, Booster Report, you guys got to get a better team because who is trading two first round picks for LeBron James, who’s 40 years old, who probably has what, one year left in him, and say if you trade for him this year, and he retires after this season, what you traded him for what, 60, 50 games, two first round picks. Like, that’s not even realistic. Like, yeah, we could get off Terry Rosair and Andrew Wiggins, but there’s no way we’re trading two first. There’s no way LeBron’s coming to the Miami Heat. Let’s just stop talking about this. It’s just not happening. and we don’t want Bronny James. So, I just wanted to clear this up so you guys understand that LeBron’s not coming to the Miami Heat. Talking about our rookie though, Kasparius, I’m going call him KJ on what he learned from Udonis Hasslam so far. And I find this very, very interesting and I love it. So, he goes, man, listen, he’s a legend. He’s been sharing his knowledge about the game more than anything. It’s about the mental part and mental approach to the game than anything skill-wise. What you can give to the team is the biggest thing from him. And I love this type of vice because a lot of young guys that come into the league or just a lot of people in college or in high school, all they care about is scoring, scoring, scoring. But as a head coach, cuz I’m a basketball coach, that’s not what we look at. We look at the other things. Can you are you hustling? Are you playing defense? Are you crashing for offensive rebounds? Like those are the little things that we look for. Are you playing as a team? because a lot of people want to hunt the ball and score 40 plus points and get highlights, but that’s not what it’s all about. And so, I loved hearing this. Like, Kasparius is gonna struggle. Like, we know that. That’s typically what a rookie does. He’s going to struggle, but obviously we’re hoping for him to continue to play his best basketball. He was looking good in the summer league. Obviously, there’s up and downs, but he does have a great coaching staff around him. He’s around great people and I’m really just wishing the best from him because if he could play good and we have a bright future for sure as a 6667 guard on our team. Also another young guy that I do want to talk about is Khloe Weir. Khlo Weir since being called up by coach averaging about 21 points a game, 12 rebounds, two blocks, 55% from the field, 83% from the three-point line. And he coach goes, “Listen, it’s more than a presence that’s being fed out there. I just got to bring it. That’s it. Plain and simple.” Well, that’s what Khloe Weir said actually. That’s one of his quotes. And to be honest with you, if Khal Weir tries, he could be this dominant. And that’s why Coach Spo called him out. Now, I know a lot of people didn’t really appreciate Spo calling him out publicly. And I get it, you know, but at least he responded to it and looked very, very good in summer league and hopefully he looks good in training camp and heading into the season because we’re definitely going to need him. We’re definitely going to need that secondyear leap where he can help out this team. So, love it. Also, KL Weir is officially done with summer league. He has left Vegas after putting in his required time as as is typical within well with returning players from previous seasons. Nothing to read into here. So, that’s a positive thing. They seen enough from Kelwar that he doesn’t need to play in the summer league and let’s get ready for training camp and continue to work because like I said, we need you. Also, Mike Miller says that the Miami Heat isn’t done making moves this off seasonason. He goes, “I love Coach Pat. I love Norman Pal. I still don’t believe it moves the needle for the championship. You know what I do know? Coach Riley’s not done. Now, I don’t know if he’s just saying this just to say it, but to be honest with you, we do have a roster spot, but I just don’t really see this Miami Heat team making any other moves. Like, I think their last move was adding Norman Pal. And honestly, I’m fine with that. I do think we need a backup center. Like, that’s desperately what we need. Do they make that move? Maybe, maybe not. Do they wait till the trade deadline? Do they wait for the buyout market? I think that’s the reason why they’re keeping that one roster spot open because the buyout market is very, very important. A lot of good players, well, solid players that could help your team, you know, go far are going to be available then and there. So, we’ll see what happens. Hopefully, Mike Miller’s right and maybe we continue to make moves, but I highly doubt it. But, let me know what you guys think. Now, I do want to talk about this because a lot of people continue to keep talking about Luca and this is coming out from Brian Winhurst. And the reason why this is a conversation now, and this is actually real, is that the Lakers and Luca like they’re hesitant on, you know, a contract extension. And if Luca doesn’t sign the extension, he could 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 to begin to open up maneuvers to try to chase Luca. Now, I’m going to be honest with you. I do think eventually Luca does sign the extension, but the reason why I think he’s holding off is because him and his agent are trying to figure out what’s the future of this team. He knows it’s Luca, but outside of that, it’s not really anything excited. Luca is one of the top players in the league when he’s healthy and when he’s not being lazy, of course, and he wants to win a championship and he wants to be around a good court. When he was on the Dallas Mavericks, he had a good team. That’s the reason why he went to the finals. when you take out LeBron James, which he is gonna retire, the team gets very, very questioned. Like, it’s very questionable. So, that’s why this is a conversation. But Barry Jackson shut it down real quick. He’s like, “Listen, as currently uh constituted, it says Heat would have less than $15 million in cap space next summer and would need to do several things to clear max space a surprising event. Luca opts for free agency.” And like I said, the rumor started because I seen some pictures with Bam and Luca hanging out. It says behind the scenes photo of Bam and Luke at the Jordan brands board of greatness meeting it meeting in Greece. And like I said, I don’t really look at this and get like too too excited because it’s the off season. Players hang out all the time. It’s not like just cuz you’re on a opposite team doesn’t mean they’re cool. Like they’re just chilling. They’re just at an event having a good time. They like each other. You know, they’re friends. So I don’t really look at it like anything like that. But say if Luca does become available and he is a free agent, you have to do anything. You have to free up C space. you have to trade players. You have to get as much draft capital as possible because if the Heat’s plan is to land a star player, this is your time if that’s the case. But like I said, don’t get your hopes up. I think this is a core that we’re running with and uh we’ll see what happen. I mean, this would be fun though. Luca, Bam, and Tyler. That would be very, very interesting. But once again, let me know in the comments section what you guys think and follow for
