Pipe dream trade target may arise for Heat thanks to Mavs’ instability The aftershocks of the dubious Luka Doncic trade by the Dallas Mavericks continue to be felt across the rest of the league. The latest one could end up opening a new offseason horizon for the Miami Heat. As Miami explores the possibility of a big trade this offseason, a couple of pipe dream targets (Anthony Davis and/or Kyrie Irving) could arise this summer thanks to the continued organizational dysfunction within the Mavs. According to NBA scribe Marc Stein, the New York Knicks are expected to request an…

Connor Stalions has long maintained that Michigan didn’t break any rules Michigan has never interviewed Stalions about his role in the advanced scouting operation. He contends that he didn’t break any rules, and certainly buying tickets for people to attend college football games isn’t against a rule. Neither is recording something while at the game as a fan. So we’ll see what evidence the NCAA has, and what role Stalions has to play in all of this. It could be good for Michigan. It could be bad. But things did get more interesting now that Stalions is in the…

Tyler Herro will control Heat’s future before he plays another minute in Miami. If the Miami Heat are going to return to the ranks of the NBA’s best, then nothing will prove more important during the 2025 offseason than how the franchise handles Tyler Herro’s contract extension eligibility. Herro, 25, has given Miami ample reason for intrigue with his quality of play. He finished the 2024-25 regular season averaging 23.9 points, 5.5 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 3.3 three-point field goals made per game on .472/.375/.878 shooting the process, Herro secured his first career All-Star Game appearance—adding to…

The Miami Heat may already have a defined plan heading into the offseason. However, maybe all that will start to change as Tyrese Haliburton’s historic success continues to strongly echo across the league. Many times, the NBA can be considered a “copycat” league. With the success that the Indiana Pacers have experienced with Haliburton as the central piece of their build, it may be time for the Heat, specifically, to get with the times. Miami may be focused on the pursuits of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant this offseason, but I can’t help but wonder if it may be…

Shocking: Heat must include this key player in any trade for a star. Chris Hoke made his name in the Steel City, winning two Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2000s.

He’s an all-state player as well. He chose Pitt…

Heat must include this key player in any trade for a star. As the Miami Heat prepare to aim for the heavens this offseason, there’s one player the team will almost certainly have to include in any potential deal for a star player. That player is none other than Andrew Wiggins. Even though the Heat has plenty of players who could qualify as salary filler candidates in a potential roster-changing move, Wiggins is the player who sticks out as the one who could provide the most value in any potential deal. For that reason, Wiggins is almost certainly going…

The Miami Heat may not have many untouchable assets on their roster heading into the offseason, but that may be beginning to change thanks to some recent comments from Bam Adebayo. After offering up some strong praise for Kel’el Ware, it’s clear how much he values the young center. And if Bam feels that way about Ware, the Heat should absolutely take note. There’s reason to believe that it could end up altering their approach heading into the offseason. “[Kel’el Ware] has no ceiling. He’s a young big with athleticism. Obviously, he can block shots, he can run the…

With the House settlement expected to pass soon, schools will soon have an NIL cap of $20.5 million they can directly spend on their student athletes across various athletics programs, even though third-party NIL deals can still happen.Apparently, the SEC wanted to put a cap on how much money schools could spend on each program, but Kentucky reportedly led the charge against that in hopes of not having a cap on how much money it could spend on the men’s basketball team. That push has led to the SEC dropping the cap limit per sport, at least for the 2025-26…

It was a decision that many expected across the college basketball world, but it sounds like it may have been a closer decision than many of us previously thought. According to Matt Norlander of CBS Sports, that is exactly what it was for the Kentucky Wildcats standout. “Otega Oweh had an interesting process, because if we were talking a month ago, I would have told you he’s going to…
