🚨NEW WORDS ALERT🚨

The Heat have a no-doubt-about-it superstar for the first time in well over a decade, but now there's more work to be done.

If Giannis joined prime Kobe, yall would say that’s a title contender without knowing the rest of the players

Now when Giannis joins a better scorer than Kobe, they are apparently a play in team

Make it make sense

[HEATLES @NBADraft2003]

“Coby is there.”

[Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS]

This is one of the ballsier things a front office has done in a long, long time... and I'm kinda into the idea.

It's the very rare proactive, sell high. LaMelo has real injury questions. Kon and Miller are in place. Point guard is the most replaceable position and Coby is there.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Golden State's Al Horford is declining his player option and intends to sign a new two-year, $14 million deal to stay with the Warriors, sources tell me and @anthonyVslater. Horford, 40, becomes only the 13th player in NBA history to reach 20 seasons.
