Mike Ryan

I'm just happy that they made an aggressive move that hurts.

This has been something that we've been pining for for, you know, five years at least.

And in an interesting turn of events, it kind of felt like the Boston media became what they hate the most.

They actually became heat fans, not wanting to part with guys like Hugo Gonzalez.

All of a sudden you start becoming what you hate, but I'm really happy that

Miami got a superstar.

It seems like it's really difficult to build a roster from here, but it's going to be a fascinating challenge.

I think that they've got a much better base to build around, and I'm excited to see where it goes.

I'm pumped for Pat Riley.

I'm pumped for Heat fans.

Michelle?

yeah they they seem to be the worst shooting team in the league right now um with not a lot of money or assets to improve the team so i'm curious they're going to lean on their development i do think that they're going to make the playoffs and get out of that you know play in hell that they've been in for the last few years just because this team's going to be built on defensive effort and the night in night out grind of an 82 game season they should have a nice little seed attached to their names come playoff time and then

They're going to be hell to play against even if they don't add anybody.

But they certainly don't have the scoring punch to be real title contenders at this moment.

They're going to have to add.

And I'm not even looking at the teams above them.

I'm looking at a team like Indiana that is going to get healthy and chase them from the bottom.

But look, at least they have a shot now, whereas before they were just, you know, twisting in the wind.

Mike, is that your hotel room?

Yeah, I'm in what Lou Dobbs calls Wattala.
