The Miami Heat are in a weird place, roster-wise. The Heat lost in the first round to the Boston Celtics in five games, but Jimmy Butler’s unavailability due to injury is a major reason behind the lopsided loss. If Playoff Jimmy was on the floor, we might have seen a completely different series play out.
The Heat now find themselves in an awkward position where Butler is not interested in signing an extension in the immediate future. His contract dilemma exposes a worrying hole in the team’s future should he decide to let this season play out and enter free agency next summer.
However, fans know that the Heat always finds a way to keep the team competitive. They always find a way to find the right players who fit into their scheme and culture and build a competitive roster that can compete in the East.
Analyst thinks Anthony Edwards’ relationships with Bam Adebayo and Erik Spoelstra will convince him to join the Miami Heat
Bill Simmons isn’t averse from stirring the pot with his hot takes, but one of his most recent ones mentioned on his The Ringers podcast will anger plenty of Minnesota Timberwolves fans and excite Heat fans.
When does the first you know, Ant Edwards really loves Bam and Spoelstra and his experience with them. Don’t be surprised…. Story drop. Am I dropping it now?” Simmons said.
It’s definitely a wild take, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Many still remember how LeBron James broke the hearts of millions of Cleveland Cavaliers fans when he decided to move to South Beach in 2010, and the idea to move to Miami came about after James spent time with Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony in the Olympics.
If the bonds Edwards built with Adebayo and Spoelstra in Paris are that strong, it wouldn’t be weird to see the Miami Heat come knocking at his door once his current deal with the Timberwolves end at the end of the 2028-29 season.
However, it could also happen a lot sooner than we imagine. Four years are a long time, after all.
