## Resource

With the LeBron James sweepstakes behind them, the Miami Heat now turn their full attention to building a championship contender around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. Who should Pat Riley target next? Should Miami pursue veteran scorers like Bradley Beal, DeMar DeRozan, or Klay Thompson? Are there better options on the trade market or in free agency? And after a much-improved Eastern Conference, will any of these moves be enough to put the Heat back in championship contention? Join us live and let us know who you want to see wearing a Heat jersey! #MiamiHeat #HeatNation #HeatCulture #PatRiley #Giannis #BamAdebayo #BradleyBeal #DeMarDeRozan #KlayThompson #NBA #NBAFreeAgency #NBATrades #Basketball #BatteredHeatFans
