Miami Heat FALL SHORT of Championship Standard: Is a Roster SHAKEUP Coming? | Miami Heat Podcast
On the night when the Miami Heat celebrated the 20-year anniversary of their 2006 championship, the team laid an egg against the Atlanta Hawks. Have the Heat fallen short of their standard?
Wes Goldberg and David Ramil react to a forgetful game and ask if the team is distracted by the looming trade deadline before discussing the latest intel on the Giannis Antetokounmpo front. Are the Milwaukee Bucks posturing before the deadline, and are the Minnesota Timberwolves being more aggressive than the Heat to land Giannis? They discuss that and answer questions about Ja Morant, Erik Spoelstra, the trade deadline and more.

or Trade them all! so frustrating in front of 2006 former champs!!! retain Larsson & Bam
Too 3 scorers are out. It's expected! How can media avoid reality? SMH
Powell didnt play for "personal reasons" BUT he was at Katseya. Methinks he's part of the trade package too.
A trade is coming with the lineup tonight
Writing on the wall – Ja Morant to the Minnesota Timberwolves
Niko is useless, send him to the G League, maybe he can rehabilitate.
trounced again. hawks played second and third string centers.
Ain't no point in getting Giannis. When Spo doesn't like playing 2 bigs at the same time
Pat Riley been asleep for the last 10 years. He is not waking up. Heat fans are stuck with this shitty team. Bum Adebayo is the worst garbage #1 option
The Heats package is Not Good, for a player like Giannis…. Only BIASED Heat fans and Media, think it's a good package
I feel like a lot of the heat media is so easily gullible when it comes to trade talk, but when in the last 10 years was the front office aggressive enough to finally pull off a move like this. This time next week the excuses will be the same as every time before.
Dammmmm, this team SUCKS. Trade any and all, Adesucko whoever!! This team will be HUMILIATED in the playoffs. I hope they lose the play in at this stage. I've NEVER seen a more inconsistent squad EVER. How do you go from great players to high school g league every 24 hours? Absolutely pathetic!!! Trade now or I Boycott till heat culture comes back. If 😢
DAVE US TOTALLY DELUSIONAL 😂 IT DEFINITELY MATTERS, SPO NOT PLAYING WARE…. HEAT CULTURE CULT MEMBER TALK👎🏾💩
tick tick,tick
Wes is fed up 🤣
I have a feeling Pat Riley will get both Ja and Giannis
PERFECT 5 TEAM TRADE IDEA FOR THE HEAT TO GET GIANNIS AND STILL HAVE BENCH DEPTH.
Miami Get:
Giannis
Thanasis
Kuzma
KPJ
Rob Williams
Bucks Get:
Herro
Rozier
Ware
Jakuciounas
JJJ
Kleber
2030 + 2023 1st (MIA)
3 pick swaps (MIA)
2026 OKC 1st (Lakers)
Lakers get:
Wiggins
Blazers get:
Rui
2032 2nd (Lakers)
Nets get:
Thybuille
2026 2nd (MIA)
2026 2nd (MIL)
I agree with David as I’ve been saying for months now. I question the fit with Giannis and Bam as they both play a similar type of game. It would make more sense with Ja as his a Guard and Bam/Giannis are bigs
Wes please remind us how amazing Bam is… tell us about all his talents. Tell is about how much a star is with all his consistency as evident by the past 2 seasons
Wes looks like he's recording in a prison cell (All jokes)
Trade Bam… love Bam but his production is so hot and cold. I feel there is a better chance of winning with tyler herro, giannis, and norm.
WHO CARES DAVE YOU FIGURE IT OUT MAKE THE DAM TRADE!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡
Watching this team play basketball is such a bad vibe and depressing BLOW THIS 💩 UP STARTING WITH BAM . Why in the world would Giannis want to play with Bam makes no sense
This is delusion. You want a, Shaq trade but you have no Dwayne wade. What's the point.
Thie going nowhere fast
So I guess it was Herro’s fault tonight 🤔
They can’t “beat a lowly Hawks team” because they are a lowly Heat team. This team is barely better than this Hawks team and the Hawks potentially have a much better future already having Jalen Johnson and all the draft capital of New Orlean 1st and their own lottery pick this year. Y’all need to realize this.
The HARDEST thing to do is get the Superstar! Get it done and figure the roster out later
“What are you gonna have on the roster afterwards?” Man SHUT UP! YOU GO GET THE ELITE TALENT AND FIGURE THE REST OUT AFTER!
Lowly Hawks,lol,Hawks own Pelicans#1 and their roster is currently better than the Heat,in my opinion,Hornets are only a lucky bounce from getting a top 3 pick in a great draft,then they will have a better roster than the Heat,the Heat cannot beat the Magic consistently,in my opinion, the Heat can be at the bottom of the division for the next several seasons,aquire draft capital to bring in better talent and cap flexibility,Go Heat!!
Coaching, coaching and coaching….
Never lose sight that these 2 mfs work for the Heat you can't shit where u eat😂😂
You trade for Gianni’s and fill the roster with the buy out market players … derozans of the world or even Burks .. it doesn’t matter it would feel much like the big 3 first year together .. with arroyo and other scrap players
