"This part of Miami was locked on the map for a lot of Miamians... Now Inter Miami is here."
People believe Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park will unite all of Miami as he takes a stroll through their new digs
Heat: Traded for Giannis
Panthers: Reunited the Tkachuk brothers
Marlins: Somehow in a playoff spot
Dolphins: Won't lose a game for another 2.5 months
Kevin O'Connor views Miami as the ultimate destination for Ja Morant, naming him a dynamic fit next to Giannis
“The team that makes the most sense for Ja is Miami. They have organizational stability and a clear need for shot creation after trading away so many ball handlers in the Giannis deal. Morant is worth the swing and could be a dynamic fit with Giannis. One big problem: The Heat don't have salaries that work financially for Ja (unless they give up Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Jovic, which would be dumb for Miami). If the Heat even want Morant, the odds are they're hoping for a buyout.”
The Miami Heat are shopping Nikola Jovic around to get Norman Powell back on the team
“League sources say the Heat have shopped Nikola Jović in an attempt to cut salary to open flexibility for Powell. But Jović is entering the first year of a four-year, $62 million contract that already looks like an albatross by role player standards given his lack of development at 23 years old. Miami would have to attach draft capital to Jović’s contract to dump him, but the front office only has a 2029 first and swaps in 2028 and 2032 to dangle.”
Landry Shamet, Anfernee Simons and Quentin Grimes are potential options for the Miami Heat
“The Heat is expected to try to add at least two skilled three-point shooters in free agency. Other options, listed here, include Landry Shamet, Anfernee Simons and Quentin Grimes, among others.”
Tim Hardaway Sr says he’s been trying to get his son Tim Hardaway Jr on the Miami Heat
“I’ve been trying to get him in a Heat jersey and he will not be wearing my number ever with the Heat. He will not be wearing my number — that number is never coming down…you see how I walk now? It hurts when I walk — that’s why my jersey is up there…that’s my sh*t…you might do something to jeopardize that sh*t…”
Nikola Jovic asked if he sees himself in the rotation this season after Giannis trade:
“I don’t know. I mean, if I look at our roster right now, we only have eight players.
That’s basically everyone. We haven’t even brought in the strength coaches yet or set everything up with the physical therapists. Everything is still coming together.
But that’s just how it is. A player like Giannis is simply worth that much.
Like I said, right now we have eight players. Of those eight, the bigger guys would be Bam, Giannis, me, and Bobby Portis.
None of us is really a traditional center, a true five. So it would definitely be different.
But from Miami’s perspective, I understand it.
Erik Spoelstra is really chasing that aggressive, switch-everything defensive style. I saw some statistics showing that no matter what roster he has, his teams always end up being among the best defenses.
That’s his number one priority.
And if you have Bam, who can guard anyone, and Giannis, who can guard anyone, I think that’s exactly what he’d want.”

Tons of options to add talent and depth to this team.
The Orlando Magic were founded in 1989. They were awarded as an NBA expansion franchise that year. Since then, these have been the team’s logos.
Where are you predicting they will land in the Eastern Conference ?
Collins is also expected to draw interest from Orlando, San Antonio and Philadelphia once free agency begins. The 76ers and Western Conference champion Spurs continue to get linked in free agency projections to the top forwards in the marketplace.
