Summary
It’s mailbag Friday on Locked On Heat, and Wes Goldberg and David Ramil are answering your biggest Miami Heat offseason questions. First, the guys break down the NBA’s new lottery reform and anti-tanking rules, including how the proposed “3-2-1” system could increase the value of Heat draft picks and change the way Miami approaches a potential star trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Then, they get into what the Heat would realistically have to give up for Giannis. If Miami moves Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware, the No. 13 pick and future first-rounders, how would the Heat build around a Bam Adebayo-Giannis superstar duo? Is there any path to keeping Ware, or would trading the farm be unavoidable? Plus, the mailbag asks whether Miami can find its own version of Alex Caruso, with names like Kris Dunn, Devin Carter, Herb Jones and Gary Payton II discussed as defensive-minded options.
