Look how many big trades and free agent signings my former Lakers coach and one of my best friend’s, Pat Riley has pulled off - LeBron James, Shaq, Jimmy Butler, Alonzo Mourning, Ray Allen, and now Giannis Antetokounmpo. And of course he drafted the legendary Dwyane Wade! It’s not even a question, he’s one of the best executives in NBA history!
People are going to talk about Giannis Antetokounmpo, and they should because he and Nikola Jokić are the two best players in the league, but don’t sleep on how important the Heat getting Bobby Portis is. Bobby’s ability to shoot from the 3-point line and his toughness, he will be a major part of the Heat success!
The Miami Heat don’t want to gut their roster and draft capital for Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @Anthony_Chiang
“While three-time All-Star center Bam Adebayo is the only Heat player truly off the table in Antetokounmpo trade discussions, the Heat doesn’t want to gut its team and draft capital in a deal.”

Canada UPSETS USA and makes history winning their first gold medal at the FIBA U18 AmeriCup.
USA had won the last seven tournaments until now.
What a moment 🇨🇦
@Sleeper_Hoops@SleeperThunder Thunder failed because of injuries to one/two of their key players.
Instead they tried to give the keys to someone who didn’t want them, and didn’t have enough heart to compete with Wemby or help SGA.
Everyone’s focused on SGA, foul baiting and not the injuries all playoffs.
