Giannis basically went to the South Beach Bucks. This doesn’t move the needle

That’s what I got from this honestly. The Heat’s roster with him is barely punching top 5 in the East, it’s very middle of the pack. And that’s without a healthy Magic starting lineup included

I’m just glad Riley finally took a swing. The Heat have been on that 8/9 bubble for like 6 years.

The team was destined to do that again next year without a move like this. Losing the depth hurts, but Riley and Spoelstra also good at finding diamonds in the rough.

Yeah, would’ve been much more interesting if he went to the Celtics to pair with Tatum. From a league wide perspective, this doesn’t change the landscape at all.

... that is always going to be the joke, and for good reason, however in reality it was him, schierman (sp?) and three first round picks.

If Windhorst's report that this has caused an all out bidding war for Jaylen Brown is correct, not landing Giannis could end up being a blessing.
