Summary
What happens if the Miami Heat miss out on BOTH Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil open up the Locked On Heat mailbag to figure out Miami’s Plan C. Should the Heat stop waiting on Klay and make their move for DeRozan now? Or would they be better off preserving flexibility and looking elsewhere to finish the roster? Then, Wes and David pick the Heat player they’d most want to guarantee a breakout season from. Could Davion Mitchell become the playmaker Miami needs next to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo? Is Nikola Jovic ready for a major leap? And what would a Pelle Larsson breakout look like? Finally, they go shopping for “second draft” candidates, including Ben Saraf, Jordan Hawkins, Scoot Henderson and some intriguing young Rockets. Plus, could Trevor Keels or Keshad Johnson steal a roster spot, and would Erik Spoelstra have any interest in a Cam Thomas reclamation project?
