## Resource

Klay Thompson is officially a member of the Miami Heat, and Wes Goldberg is at the arena with David Ramil to break down everything from his introductory press conference. What did Klay say about choosing Miami, fitting alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo, and his expectations for this season? Then, Erik Spoelstra's comments might have been even more revealing. Wes and David discuss what Spo's opening statement tells us about his excitement for this roster and why his message to “let this team shine” stood out. Plus, Spo was asked about the similarities between adding Klay Thompson and the Heat's addition of Ray Allen more than a decade ago. His answer provided an interesting glimpse into how Miami plans to use Klay — and why Heat fans should be excited about what he can bring to a championship contender. 00:00 – Klay Thompson Joins Heat: First Impressions 12:22 – Erik Spoelstra: Championship Expectations 20:10 – Klay’s Fit & Redemption Motivation
