## Resource

Could Klay Thompson be sending a message to the Miami Heat? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down Klay’s latest comments about wanting a role on a championship contender and why Miami could check the boxes he’s looking for. Then, Bradley Beal is officially off the board after re-signing with the Los Angeles Clippers. What does his decision tell us about Miami’s pursuit — and were the Heat ever really waiting on Beal? Finally, former Heat forward Haywood Highsmith is available after being waived by Phoenix, and Wes reports that Highsmith would be open to a Miami reunion. Should the Heat bring him back, and what could he add to a Giannis Antetokounmpo-led roster?
