And uh you know what can I say? All the support, all the watching, all the comments. It all means a lot, man. Hit that like button, subscribe. You guys know what to do. You’ve done YouTube long enough. So, the Miami Heat in the midst of this uh off season, they had that one roster spot left. They did uh sign another two-way over the weekend, but uh they still have that one roster spot left. And you have to wonder like what Miami is thinking. Um because there are some teams I’m like, I don’t know what they’re thinking. We talked a little bit about the the weekend over this uh Demar D Rozan deal that uh is rumored or kicked around in the uh in the ether of the uh of the King scope. But apparently there’s a lot of stuff that’s gonna go on with the Kings. And I I don’t really know what the Kings are doing. I gotta be honest with you. And I think a lot of people probably feel that way. But I don’t know what the Kings are doing because I saw today kicked around was that he uh that the Kings are going to bring in Russell Westbrook and they’re going to get rid of Malik Monk and they’re going to get rid of Devin Carter who they just drafted. And I was just like, “What? That seems strange.” Um, so they just drafted Devin Carter and we talked a little bit about Devin Carter and the Malik Monk thing earlier in the year. I still don’t know, you know, I think that was before the Norman Pal thing came to fruition. I think that He would have to be really selective about taking another guard on. So, I don’t know if that’s likely anymore now that Norman Powell is in the fold with the Miami Heat. Uh, I would I would venture to say it’s probably more like it’s why the Demar De Rozan thing. None of this stuff makes sense with the Heat keeping their roster as constructed. if there’s another move to come. And I don’t I I hate to always do this because it’s like the only place I can go to or two places if they’re going to go get more backcourt help is like unless the Miami Heat are really squeamish about paying Tyler Hero and they’re looking to move on, which I don’t think they are. Um and now I think Tyler’s going to get extended in the middle of the year. I think that’s probably going to be a summer question, but unless that’s happening and or Andrew Wiggins, um, which, you know, it’s been reported by the Miami Herald, very credible, an Anthony Chang and Barry Jackson that barring something crazy, they expect Andrew Wiggins to be on the team and be more comfortable and to be a contributor for them. I don’t know how much getting another guard is like in the forefront. Some people mention a pure point guard. It’s like, yeah, I get you, but wh what are they going to play? You know, like when are they going to play? Extend A Davon, you have Norman, you have Tyler, maybe you have the three of them on at one times. Pella is going to get some playing time. He is. You would think Yakonis is going to get some playing time. Maybe not a ton, but he’s going to get some playing time. Then you have Hakez. So, you’re going to bring in, you know, Malik Monk. I mean, I I suppose in a trade like that, I’d imagine like Hakez would be going back to the Kings. I would imagine it’d be something like that, but still, you know, we’re talking we’re talking like that. That’s a guy who’s not playing. You’re getting a lot of minutes. You got to find if you’re going to bring a guy who was nearly sixman and a former first round pick, you got to think that the Miami Heat uh wouldn’t make that move without having somebody. But I I saw the Kings Kings are bringing in Russell Westbrook. That’s uh that’s interesting, man. This is uh this is great. And obviously they’re they’re kind of circling around the Kaminga thing that’s there as well. So I don’t know, man. That’s pretty wild. But I did see a move that I don’t know if the Miami Heat can get in the game for, but I was but this would be like an interesting one to me for last roster spot. And that was whether or not Nicola Vousvich ends up being out for for being a free agent. there’s some fodder out there that the Bulls are not able to find a trade partner for them and that he’ll be a buyout. Now, maybe that buyout comes in the mid-season and this is an acquisition in the middle and maybe this is the Heat. Maybe they don’t maybe Kell doesn’t respond as well, maybe not. But if it is one before the season, would that be somebody that the Heat would be interested in? because the Heat have kind of shown a propensity to go after guys who are heat killers. They do like that. Um, see Fontekio, see Wayne Ellington, you know, they they they they do gravitate towards guys like that. They’re like, “Oh, that guy played really well against it’s like it it does they they take notice of stuff like that.” And and Nicola Vousvich, I I mean, this guy gives you nightmares for the Miami Heat. He is such a He is such a a heat assassin. I mean, especially in his magic days, but really his whole career, he really is. Uh, let me just see what Vousvich stats versus Miami Heat. Let’s see. Nicole Vousvich over his career has averaged 18 points and 11 rebounds against the Miami Heat. And I would venture to say if I took out if I went with uh with the Magic Years, just the Magic years, it would be he was he was 20 and 12 against the Miami Heat. He was he was he was so good against the Miami Heat. Uh when he was a member of the Magic, uh it was insane. It was insane. Let me see if I go Bulls. There’s a stat muse. Yeah, he’s it’s dipped a little in scoring. He still averages 11 rebounds, but he he’s he’s kicked the Heat’s ass his entire career. Now, I’ve thought about him and Bam. Feels like a fit that would fit like a glove. That would that feels like that would fit pretty damn strong. The question though is okay, you do this. Vousvich is not what he was and I’m sure if he’s going somewhere new would be more open to coming off the bench being in a role like that. You know, I’m sure that that’s going to be something that would be easier to uh you know to have that talk. He’s 30. What is he 34? When’s he going to be 35? Turns 35. Right around when the season starts. So, let’s call him a 35 year old. Um, yeah. If that does happen, would he come here in the Kevin Love type role of like, hey, if the bigs don’t work out, would you be into it? Could you play him and Yoic together? Because the Heat don’t really have a ton on the size end, right? They have Bam where Yovic, dude, and Golden. if this guy would be available, that feels like the that feels like the perfect like final roster spot guy. I know we’ve kicked around Olivo. I know we’ve just talked about the Kings guys, but that one to me is like but I I but here’s the thing, you know, we have seen a lot of, you know, size go around the league on the cheap skis and guys looking for roles and to me like there’d be a there’s probably a role out there that’s like a certified backup that they would get beat out for. I’m thinking like the Golden State Warriors for example, right? like the Golden State Warriors when that Kaminga stuff was going on that seemed so obvious like Kaminga for Vousvich. Vousvich an obvious fit for them. Shoots the threes, you know, maybe not the biggest defensive presence, but offensively talented center. I I mean, I wouldn’t rule out that that’s probably where Vousvich goes. You know, I don’t know if maybe the Lakers tickles his fancy to go be, you know, to add to their like kind of rag tag of playing with Luke. Man, look, dude. Have you guys seen Luca? Sheesh. That wasn’t just a good shirt at the Michael Jordan party, huh? He looks incredible. No gluten. Gluten-free Luca. My god. Eco Harrison, you bastard. Dude, unbelievable. He looks so He is so skinny and he’s playing for Slovenia. I kind of feel like I’m going like I’m betting on. It was announced today that uh or it was reported today, but I think it was kicked around that that Joker is going to play for Serbia, which I don’t know what that means for Yovic. Um but Serbia is the favorite to win Eurob basket. So, I’m going to pro I’m going to bet on Serbia, but I’m going to throw a flyer on Slovenia just for Skinny Luca. I’m going to I’m going to probably bet Sweden. I love Pella. I’m going to probably prop bet him if I’m allowed to. I don’t know what the Hard Rock app is going to allow me to kick on, but um I can’t wait for that Euro Basket, dude. I think it’s I think it’s an exciting time. It’s an exciting tournament. And uh it’s so cool because like I remember when Goron won the MVP of that thing and tuning into it and everybody was talking about Luca Don before he got drafted and I’m like what is this thing? And uh you know, Americans I don’t think really have the concept of like Slovenia they’re going to I don’t think people realize like how small Slovenia is and what a big deal it was and Goran being the MVP of that and you know and Luca was a was a baby when that thing last happened when they uh when they won that thing. So and I think Goran man I want to say maybe he got hurt in the final game. Uh he had that incredible speech. But I’m very much looking forward to seeing this. Maybe I’m just I’m just starving for basketball. But I don’t know, man. I saw the the Vousvich thing. I was like, for a buyout for a buyout deal for the Miami Heat, uh would I trade for Vousvich? Man, it would have to be like the biggest sweetheart deal for the Heat and like maybe he makes a stink to get there. I don’t know if I’d trade for him, but if he’s on the B. Yeah, I would definitely be interested in the Heat doing that to to to add a little bit more insurance policy. Um, bring him into the fold, make the Heat a little bit even more international, you know, more Balkans. I’m I’m all for it, dude. That would be that would be pretty sick.

Tobin discusses some NBA fodder around the Bulls possible buying out Nikola Vučević a notorious Miami Heat killer. Would the Heat entertain that on a final roster spot at the right price? Too much to trade for? Plus we have no idea what the Kings are doing but apparently Malik Monk and Devin Carter could be had because they want Russell Westbrook
