Potential Heat lineup if they land LeBron James:
LeBron James
Davion Mitchell
Andrew Wiggins
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Bam Adebayo
Sixth Man: Tim Hardaway Jr.
This is the ONLY move that is capable of bringing Miami from East contention to NBA Champion favorites.
“James could experience a more organic farewell tour in his 3rd stop in Cleveland, but he has fielded skepticism that he would join the Cavaliers on a veteran minimum deal. He’s expected to view the Miami Heat as a more viable option after they acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks.”

This is an automatic 5th ring @KingJames 👑
So smart. More athletes should listen to this.
Yes, he knows 200M is a lot of money but he also knows if you don’t understand how money works & how to budget ANY amount of income coming in, it could lead to devastating results.
Miami Heat has Ryan Conwell and Pelle Larsson as their young guys.
The scary part? the Heat are in position to have first-round picks in three of the next four drafts following this year.
So for everyone saying Miami traded their future — they will quickly rebuild it while competing for a title with Giannis.
I truly believe it’s between Miami and Cleveland for LeBron James.
Cleveland is considered because of the hometown and storybook ending.
But in terms of fit and winning a championship, I can tell LeBron and his camp are considering Miami as his destination since Giannis is now there.
Plus the relationship with Pat Riley is stronger than ever.
When you think about what the Miami Heat needs and consider LeBron James joining them…
It’s literally the perfect fit.
A 6’9 PG who will have Giannis and Bam as his frontcourt.
Miami could construct the 2020 Lakers if LeBron gives the word.
