00:00Giannis Antetokounmpo overnight if you are just waking up it is done it is official
00:06he putting together a package to land Giannis and pair him alongside Bam Adebayo welcome aboard
00:17here Hollywood Omar Kelly Alex Dono is going to be with us momentarily Dan Day is driving the
00:23program Jamie is here Blake is here we got a full house here this morning for one of those
00:29shows that you'll always remember here Omar this is this is a special one here this morning
00:34as we cue up the godfather music to start and not that Pat Riley needed to cement the legacy any
00:41further but he just in case he pulls another rabbit out of the hat here and brings the Greek freak
00:49to
00:50Miami the heat starting lineup as it sits here at six in the morning on this Tuesday Davion Mitchell
00:57at the point guard spot Norman Powell shooting guard your small forward will be Andrew Wiggins your
01:02power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and your center Bam Adebayo so that is uh that is what you're
01:09looking at here for this uh for this heat roster uh as I say good morning to our uh our
01:14entire crew
01:15here Dono good morning how you doing my friend I'm doing a lot better when I woke up and I
01:20saw the
01:20Giannis news because I I went to bed last night I guess a little too early thinking he was probably
01:27going to be a Boston Celtic and now here we are I'm thrilled it started to heat up for Boston
01:33they
01:33are we're going to throw Jalen Brown in the deal and now Boston is in a little bit of trouble
01:38right
01:38now because they got a disgruntled star uh Omar good morning how you doing good morning I I think
01:44you're underplaying this trade because I actually love Bobby Portis I think he's one of my favorite
01:50strangely enough he's one of my favorite players I love his style I love the way he plays I love
01:54the
01:54the energy he brings to the team so I think the Dolphins I I mean I'm sorry I think the
02:00heat have
02:00have made a dynamic trade um I would I would have loved Bobby Portis on this team even without Giannis
02:07all right well um a unique take nonetheless there from uh from Omar but yes Bobby Portis is uh is
02:14part
02:14um of this deal here it is a uh it's a large package that the heat have uh have given
02:21up here just
02:21so everyone has the particulars of this trade um the heat do get uh Giannis and Bobby Portis uh the
02:28heat will give up Tyler Hero, Kalel Ware, Jaime Jaquez, Kaspersyakou, Chonis three first round picks
02:35including pick number 13 tonight uh one pick swap and one second rounder so it is a lot to give
02:42up
02:42but it was necessary and it is time and uh the heat now have uh another big time superstar and
02:50you can
02:51just go down the list of of players that Pat Riley has brought in here and uh it was a
02:56lean a little
02:57bit here uh mediocrity for the heat but they are right back into a superstar status here uh once again
03:04and we're going to open up the phone lines today by the way so if you want to just jump
03:08in and
03:08and chat with us here and give us your thoughts on this trade uh you can certainly do that 305
03:14-567-0560
03:16is the phone number that is also the text line you can text us we are live on YouTube as
03:21well
03:23and um this uh becomes a historic morning here uh for the uh for the heat for the heat fans
03:30as uh Miami lands a monster and it'll be guys I gotta tell you to see Giannis paired with Bam
03:38and you talk about two of the physical freaks uh in the NBA I think those two are going to
03:44be a
03:44bruising combination uh when you get those two uh in the paint together and I owe Pat Riley some
03:52apologies because I was I was unraveling yesterday fellas when you know two nights ago it seemed like
03:58it was going to be Miami Giannis was coming to the heat and then yesterday all the Celtics stuff
04:03started to emerge and all the Jalen Brown momentum and I I was starting to reach this boiling point
04:10because fellas we've been frustrated for the past several years it's like every time you know since
04:16Jimmy who you know we call him a superstar down here a lot of people didn't feel that way about
04:21him at
04:21the time he helped us get to two NBA finals but since Jimmy Butler Riley has swung and missed
04:27on most of the whales he's been out there trying to harpoon right Dame Lillard most recently a couple
04:33of years ago and so when it looked like thankfully it wasn't the case when it looked like this wasn't
04:40going to work out with Giannis I was starting to reach a boiling point yesterday but Pat Riley still
04:46has the mojo the godfather still has the juice because guys we've seen it the last several years like
04:53you can like your core you can have you know a gritty defensive team a superstarless team
05:00that can only get you so far right it can get you a play-in seed it can get you
05:05maybe a series win if
05:07you're lucky but in order to actually make a run and to give yourself an opportunity these next few
05:13years to win a championship you have to have a superstar in this league like you have to like you
05:19have to have
05:19a Giannis Antetokounmpo as your leading man and Bam Adebayo can now be a dynamic number two like the
05:26Heat are now giving themselves an opportunity to do something that they used to do on a semi-regular
05:32basis and that's win championships we're back in the dance now guys I see Donald I think you're one
05:37of those guys who struggles to buy a car when when when the uh the agent is fine you know
05:44he's starting
05:45to bring up the price on you at the end oh yeah and you gotta you gotta walk out and
05:49you gotta be
05:49like I yeah we got no deal I'm leaving don't give away my move yeah I'm leaving I'm and I
05:57think that
05:57that's you know all of a sudden we hear that that Jalen Brown is is supposedly on the table you
06:04know
06:04yesterday it became ugly but no matter what if you even if you look up Boston's offer it's it's not
06:10an
06:10appealing offer it's not an interesting offer and Jalen Brown would have been a headache I don't
06:15think he would have wanted to go to Milwaukee um Jalen Brown came out on his twitch and basically said
06:21you know all of this stuff is motivating me and all of these haters and and you know he basically
06:28let
06:28it be known that hey Boston you guys not loving me as much as I would need to be loved
06:33as a number one
06:34is just motivating me and I'm gonna go on to my next team and I'm I'm gonna show you yeah
06:40that
06:40doesn't that doesn't make it an attractive situation to go trade for him and and and I you know I
06:45don't
06:46think he wants to be in Milwaukee I'm sorry if you've ever been in Milwaukee you know that's Boston
06:51Boston isn't anything to write home about but it's certainly a lot better than Milwaukee um so I wasn't
06:58too worried um but it was it was what kind of was one of those bluff situations like hey Pat
07:02you better
07:03sweeten this offer or yeah or it's it's gonna go to it's gonna go to Boston and I think Pat
07:08stayed
07:08firm I I really I'm surprised Nikola Jovic is is is not part of the deal not not to say
07:14that I think
07:15he's a dynamic player or gonna be a great fit in with what he'd have going on here but you
07:22know he's
07:22still an asset that he'd still have now would I love to for them to keep Jaime Jaquez and Triple
07:27J
07:27I would have but that's you know at this point I was willing to give up whatever you wanted for
07:33for uh for Giannis and I'm happy that Bobby Portis came in part of the deal well the Heat are
07:40gonna
07:40have to figure out a way to uh to fill in a little bit of this roster here but as
07:44the way the way it's
07:45currently constructed they they are instantly a top four team uh in the east guys I I would think
07:50here I mean you had last year you had Detroit Boston New York and Cleveland um I don't know that
07:56the Heat jump uh the Cavs or excuse me the Knicks necessarily I think they jump right over the
08:01Cavs and they jump right over the Pistons and then the Celtics are the other kind of wild card here
08:06right to see how this thing shakes out it's gonna be fun by the way as a Heat fan to
08:11watch you know
08:11Boston really struggle with this uh this upcoming uh Jalen Brown situation that they're in um I would
08:17assume they're gonna have to trade him uh it just seems like like the direction they're gonna have to
08:21go he seems pissed I I think he wants his own team um so it seems like they're gonna have
08:26to
08:26trade him but uh who cares man who cares about Boston this morning to be quite honest as uh as
08:33the
08:33Heat get this deal done and uh have a very respectable like guys this starting lineup for me um again
08:40initially top four in the east easy right you got hold on I want it I want to hear it
08:46out loud again
08:47what's your starting lineup now with Antetokounmpo and of course Bobby Portis we got Davion Mitchell in
08:53there who I happen to be a big fan of uh his game of Davion Mitchell you got Norman Powell
08:58now remember
08:58Norman Powell free agent yep Norman Powell projected starting lineup here Norman Powell uh Andrew
09:04Wiggins Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo that is the projected depth chart here uh for these uh for
09:11these Heat guys all I see are championships now it's all I see I know it uh certainly could be
09:18uh
09:18certainly could be uh big here uh for uh for the Heat but that is the projected depth chart that
09:23uh
09:24that they have right now on on ESPN so that's uh what we got going for us here I want
09:29to welcome
09:29everyone aboard again we're going to open up the phone lines here this morning if you would like
09:32to give us a call uh you certainly can uh 305-567-0560 we are opening up the phone lines
09:39here on this
09:40Tuesday morning to celebrate uh Pat Riley doing it again guys uh just uh an amazing ad uh here for
09:47the Heat and back-to-back stars uh we had the Panthers make a uh a big move that we
09:53talked about
09:54yesterday with uh Brady Kachuk coming to town the Heatland Giannis and this is only day two of Joe's
10:00summer vacation guys so we have three more days left to make big moves and John Morant baby
10:06John Morant it always happens here uh when uh when Joe is on vacation these these things always
10:13happen during his uh he tries he tries me he tries to go in the dead of summer but uh
10:18never seems to
10:18work out for him so um we have three more days left of uh of Joe vacation so we'll see
10:24just think
10:26about what Pat Riley's been able to accomplish here with with Miami in terms of uh trade acquisitions
10:32traded for when he began joining the team joining the team traded for Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway
10:37in the same uh uh Mashburn as well I think people forget that yeah he was part of that team
10:43that
10:43made a made the first relevant Heat organization uh drafted Dwayne Wade traded for Shaq signed LeBron
10:52and Bosch um drafted Bam out of Bayo then then traded for Jimmy who kind of lured as a free
10:58agent and
10:59and now Giannis um it's it's a continuation of what Pat Riley has been able to do in terms of
11:07luring those whales but more importantly it's not just the whales it's the team that he can build around
11:13them and I I'm a big believer that the Heat have never needed draft picks um I've said that all
11:20you know
11:21even though we've we've we've had a nice little run here of Bam and in Hero and Ware um that
11:29that's
11:29that's encouraging but the Heat have are an organization they never need to draft picks to find and develop
11:35talent and I'm pretty sure that they'll do that they'll they'll find three players whether it be free agents
11:41or guys from developmental league or or or undrafted players and we'll get right back on we'll get right back
11:50in in terms of building back this roster
11:54well there's certainly a few uh things that the Heat do need to figure out here and um the these
12:00NBA cap
12:00things are a little bit on the complicated side when you start talking about aprons and yeah
12:06different levels so Andrew Wiggins text it to trade exemptions and yeah so essentially what what I think
12:13looks like it's going to happen here guys is um it looks like Andrew Wiggins they'll have to figure out
12:18his uh player option or will he you know decline that sign a lesser contract so that the Heat have
12:24the uh flexibility to uh to keep Norman Powell uh so so these are kind of the uh kind of
12:30the deals
12:31here that we're going to find out in the uh in the coming days here um with the Heat so
12:35these things do
12:36get a little bit tricky but uh yeah guys look Miami the bottom line is they they do have to
12:41figure out a
12:41way to fill in the roster here because this was a um a large amount of players that they gave
12:47up
12:47to uh to bring in uh Giannis and Bobby Portis here uh to Miami so again we're going to open
12:55up the phone
12:55lines here this morning 305-567-0560 give us a call uh certainly want to hear uh everyone's thoughts
13:02on this trade it is a big morning uh here in Miami is back to back uh massive signings here
13:10with the
13:10Panthers uh they made their move yesterday the Heat make their move on draft day technically right I
13:17think the move happened at one in the morning so I think that technically puts it on draft day
13:20um but uh man this is uh this really is truly uh just one of those mornings where uh you
13:28you you're
13:29going to remember this one right this is big man the Heat bringing in the Greek freak and uh
13:34immediately uh pole vaulting their way right into the uh the tops of uh of the Eastern Conference
13:41but uh guys this is uh this is gonna be a fun show here
