Why the Miami Heat Will Only Bring Back 2 of Their 3 Point Guards Next Season
The Miami Heat season is over, so we’re looking back on whether we can call the season an individual success for Davion Mitchell, Kasaparas Jakucionis and Dru Smith.
Wes Goldberg and David Ramil discuss their takeaways from each player’s season, whether they met the value of their contract, and whether they’ll be on the team next season. They also discuss what each player needs to improve on and where they imagine they go on summer vacation.

In Miami we are always on vacation!!!!
Please let Giannis stay on the bucks he literally said he’s not leaving the bucks sometimes u should let someone be we have ware are we so desperate for another teams development that we trade all of our potential I’m sorry but this is a case where do u want a possible chip now or do u want to develop ur players so u can contend with teams like Okc which btw Okc and spurs built their team and didn’t have a need to trade any of their home grown potential I don’t think the heat should trade Tyler ware Kas or Pelle they are too valuable
I want a balanced team I don’t think we win with nutn but defense cause other teams have both and u can’t depend on bam to be consistent on the offensive end Tyler is the best scoring option in the league rn we need to trade other guys that aren’t performing Niko Davion Powell can be flipped into a star we don’t need multiple guys we literally just need one just look at the team they only need one person that can play with our team chemistry
Ja morant will be in Miami this off season..Book it..Its only right…Its entertaining and its a story that can bring the bad boys culture back that we all miss..Bam is not a vocal as he seems…We need an Alpha Dogg along with ja..Doesn't matter if he's 68 yrs old or 32 A vet is missing here
Davion is not a starter on a good team. He’s a great complementary player. Good teams have dominant PGs. He doesn’t playmake. You can count on him to make the right pass 9/10 times. But when the offense is stagnant, he can’t just create.
Kasper and Drue
Or
Ja and Casper
I've seen Mitchell Best and it's nice but we can do better at that spot.
No one knows what Kasper is give him his shot and if he ain't it move on, but you have to give him a opportunity to succeed or fail
Should have had 1 more question just for Davion specifically: will he be wearing his own Heat Culture jersey while vacationing in Tuscany or Disney World?
Davion is a nice player who brings toughness and an edge to the team but he’s a depth piece coming off the bench to back up a starting point guard, I’d start Kas next season, Kas has got the goods to be a a quality starting PG in this league, his play making is only going to get better, and at 6’5” at only 19, he can grow another inch or 2, plus he’s long and strong enough not to be a target defensively, his 3 point shot improved during the year and one thing I love is that he’s a hard worker! I see him as our future PG moving forward
Davion Mitchell was top three assistant turnover ratio in the NBA
Great pod today guys.
For next season I would like to see Wes and David do a podcast in the same space – in either a bar or one of their respective living rooms. I think if I get enough thumbs up this will happen.
Jakucionis is a rookie who can practically do it all. He should absolutely be starting next season.
Player who barely gets minutes minutes being cool with the media doesn’t surprise me. He gets talked about nicely and not involved in trade rumors by shaking some hands and saying hi
Improvement for Davion:
– become a better off the dribble 3pt shooter
– have a better floater game (since he is a small guard). His last play that got blocked by Bridges could have a different outcome if he went for a floater instead of straight up layup. (Study trae young floaters since they kind of the same height)
Yal are the reason heat fans are stupid
Mitchell's defense is consistently excellent.
Quintine Grimes,,, Ayo Dosunmo and Coby White are free agents now,,,, i think if the heat could land this 3 players,,, the heat will step up and no need a whale just let go of Norman Powell and Keshad Johnson!!! Lets go heat
