Haynes Portland is refusing to talk to Miami about Damian Lillard Miami understands that they dont have the assets

Charania The Miami Heat do not expect to retain All-Star guard Norman Powell

Chris Haynes I don't think it Miami Heat was his top destination

Windhorst The Miami Heat are expected to lose Norman Powell in free agency unless he takes a huge discount

Goodwill What Ive heard from people depending on who you talk too Boston or Miami is in the driver seat of this conversation A couple executives I talked to yesterday said they think that Miami thinks Boston is in the lead

DLLS Mavs Marc Stein If Milwaukee ends up doing the Giannis to Miami deal Tyler Herro obviously has to be in it If they can either make it a 3-team trade or turn Tyler Herro into a draft asset or two from Detroit that makes the overall package you get from Miami more attractive

Brendan Haywood I tell you another thing in Miami that was a microaggression that Pat Riley did LeBron wanted Rich Paul Maverick Randy and Lynn Merritt He wanted their season tickets to be right beside the Heat bench They were right beside the bench but it was the other team's bench
