Any time there’s a prominent player ready to move, you’ll hear the Miami Heat mentioned. This is still a desired destination, even if the Heat’s disastrous summers of 2016 and 2017 have prevented Miami from being in position to receive anyone. Pat Riley said, during his end-of-season presser that he was essentially waiting on a […]
As we wait to see what the Heat will do with the 13th pick in the draft — and we say they take a risk rather than play safe — the Heat’s existing core of young players seems eager for more responsibility. Justise Winslow has made it repeatedly clear he wants to be one of […]
The Heat don’t have a starting forward on their roster. Not one. Yes, Kelly Olynyk can play power forward, but he’s really best at center, where the Heat have Hassan Whiteside (who is likely not opting out) and Bam Adebayo (who needs to start). Yes, Derrick Jones, Jr., played both forward spots last season, and […]
As the NBA Finals start Thursday, we sampled the opinions of the various members of the Five Reasons Sports Network — because, naturally, we know better than anyone. And, naturally, our first host didn’t really give a result. Here you go… Giancarlo Navas, Miami Heat Beat: My heart is telling me Raptors in 5 […]
With the exception of the surprising return of Dwyane Wade — once from the icy depths of Cleveland and once from the brink of retirement — nothing Heat fans have hoped for has happened of late. The Jimmy Butler deal? Nah. A big move at the 2018 trade deadline? Nope. Getting in the playoffs or […]
One of the things that’s become apparent about new Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores, during his increasingly comfortable press conferences, is that he can be direct without necessarily calling anyone out. He was calm and in control again prior to Wednesday’s last OTA day, including when he was asked about the one proven player who […]
That didn’t take long. The best thing that happened to the Dolphins this offseason wasn’t promoting Chris Grier. It wasn’t hiring Brian Flores. It wasn’t drafting Christian Wilkins. It wasn’t acquiring Josh Rosen. It was Adam Gase somehow — after a colossal failure here — landing with a division rival, the New York Jets. Gase […]
Not as if we need a reminder. But, the past few years, since the breakup of the Big 3, the Miami Heat have been nowhere near most NBA honors, whether All-Star Weekend of after the season. That’s more true this season than ever. Forty different players received at least one vote for one of the […]
To no one’s surprise — if you were following Miami Heat Beat and Five Reasons sports — Juwan Howard is leaving the Miami Heat to take the head coaching job at his alma mater, the University of Michigan. (And we put out an emergency podcast with Greg Sylvander of Miami Heat Beat about it. Click […]
Isiah Thomas was a terrific basketball player. He was a score-first point guard before that was the norm. He was tough as anyone — remember that swollen ankle in the NBA Finals, and all that Thomas did on it. He was fiesty and relentless, not backing down even to Michael Jordan. He was the heartbeat […]
