How the Grizzlies and Timberwolves trades affect the Miami Heat | Five on the Floor
There were two deals of significance in the NBA on Tuesday afternoon, and both — in different ways — could impact Miami in its pursuit of stars like Giannis. But how much? And should the Heat be scared of the Timberwolves?

Plot twist , Grizzlies landing Geanis to pair up with Ja
I've been saying for 2 years now, no Super Star coming to Heat after what they did to Lebron Wade Jimmy and have to build through the draft…Giannis not coming to Heat anyway 2 firsts ain't getting it done…And now DWade screwed over the Heat trade plans again with the Utah trade…Watch all the trades happen and the Heat only end up doing a desperation trade at the end….Hope not
And Pat hungover from partying while the rest of the NBA making moves, this organization hilariously awful
Look at Ethan showbaiting at the end 😂
There’s no plan since they traded for Rozier. That’s the facts. The front office wants only trades or moves that are cheap like the Norm, or Lowry deals.
The Grizzlies got 4 picks for Bane. 3 for jjj. Here are the Heat and media hoping Ja goes for Fonteccio and Rozier. At the same time offering 90% of their roster for a declining Giannis (just to sell his jersey and the hope of a title).
Their front office and coaching is lost in their cultish ways. They think they’re better than everyone else while constantly being mediocre.
Ethan, how can you say with that Jaren Jackson is not worth his contract, while speaking about Bam
JA MORANTULA
The only thing the heat are doing is getting of the expiring terry deal
Miami need to follow Memphis lead. They recognized that J. Jackson wasn't the guy and it's time to for the Heat to trade Bam, because he's definitely not that dude.
Honestly what’s stopping Memphis from trading those draft picks for Gianis?
Bam ain’t worth $50 mill either, but we love Bam. Yay Bam!
Add Memphis (multiple picks for Bane and Jackson)to the group of Houston,OKC,Utah,that have multiple picks for their franchises future,in my opinion,acquire draft capital to bring in better talent and cap flexibility,Go Heat!!
Sam Ameck didn’t say the Heat package was bad he said the Giannis & Bam fit was bad
Memphis is in rebuild mode….
