And also Lionel Messi plays in this town.

Lionel Messi plays in this town.

You're talking to the wrong crew.

Yes, he absolutely did.

You were wearing an ill-fitting Panthers shirt at the time.

So if they strike out on Giannis, is Giannis a catch-all for a superstar that is either as good or better than Bam Adebayo?

Or do they miss out on that entirely?

Like a superstar.

There could be somebody else available that's not Giannis that comes to the Miami Heat that improves them.

Like, I'm not all in on Giannis.

But it has to be someone better than Bam.

Yeah, well, someone as good or better than Bam.

In terms of improving this team's prospects, if they fail to do that, then I think you take a hard look at rebuilding.

Because we have three years worth of data saying that this core is not good enough.

Something's not going to all of a sudden...

flip on with this team I don't think there's any more steps for Tyler Hero to take respectfully I maybe you have some of your developmental guys but is that enough to compete with even like the Orlando's of the world at that point the franchise for really like the first time ever going into a season because when they had the number two pick Zazz when they ended up with Michael Beasley that team had Dwayne Wade on it that was not the plan for them to be bad that year

I think there's a real good chance that it's the first season the Miami Heat finally look at themselves and say, you know, we're not going to be competing for a title this year.

How do we set ourselves up?

That would be pretty shocking.

As from that recent article, we know that the Miami Heat had the strongest offer amongst the teams that were pursuing Giannis.
