Summary
The San Antonio Spurs are headed to the NBA Finals after beating the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 7, and the result could have major implications for the Miami Heat’s offseason star chase. Wes Goldberg and David Ramil discuss whether OKC’s disappointing finish — and Chet Holmgren’s rough Game 7 — could push the Thunder into the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes and potentially complicate Miami’s plans. Then, the guys look at the New York Knicks’ run to the NBA Finals and ask what the Heat can learn from how New York built a contender without tanking. Is there a team-building blueprint Miami can follow as the league changes its lottery rules? Plus, Wes and David open the Cookie Gang mailbag to discuss realistic trade packages for Ja Morant or Kawhi Leonard, the futures of Chris Quinn, Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra, and the debate around OKC’s alleged flopping in the Western Conference Finals.
