Show notes

Miami Heat writer Ira Winderman joins the show to break down all things Heat, starting with his take on the Jimmy Butler era, agreeing he could be a “diva” at times while still acknowledging his superstar impact. He discusses Miami’s pursuit of another star, explaining why the Heat could realistically put together the best trade package for Giannis Antetokounmpo and likely part with multiple prospects and the 13th pick in the draft to make it happen. Winderman also weighs in on other potential star targets like Ja Morant and Kawhi Leonard if Giannis doesn’t become available, while breaking down Nikola Jovic’s role and the high-upside but inconsistent development of Kel’el Ware. He also touches on the strong Pat Riley–Erik Spoelstra relationship and Spoelstra’s job security, before closing with thoughts on the NBA Playoffs, including whether the Knicks are truly ready for the Finals after an untested run through the East.
