Miami Heat reshape trade strategy as Terry Rozier stays on the roster—will Pat Riley pull off a blockbuster move before the deadline? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil explore potential deals using Rozier’s $26.6 million expiring contract, debating whether Miami could land a difference-maker like Jerami Grant, Malik Monk, or even Ja Morant. The hosts break down Miami’s hesitation with long-term contracts, shed light on the Heat’s approach to cap flexibility versus immediate upgrades, and raise the stakes with insight into possible NBA league office rulings on trade eligibility. The episode heats up with discussion of a wild Bam Adebayo trade proposal from Locked On Knicks, sparking a debate on Bam’s value compared to Karl-Anthony Towns. Plus, Goldberg and Ramil analyze the impact of the Atlanta Hawks’ latest trade and preview the Heat’s upcoming challenge against the inconsistent Chicago Bulls. Will these moves shape the Miami Heat’s playoff destiny or signal a new era in South Beach?
