00:00The Miami Heat, they'll be back on the practice court today as they get ready for tomorrow's

00:04matchup against the Chicago Bulls. Haven't mentioned De'Aaron Fox. We mentioned De'Aaron

00:09Fox. We haven't mentioned the trade. De'Aaron Fox, uh, has been traded to the San Antonio

00:13Spurs in a three team deal that ends with Zach Levine in Sacramento, uh, with three first round

00:21picks. And basically the Bulls were left with stuff, but they get off the Levine contract

00:27who, you know, is, is now reunited with DeMar DeRozan. So they're basically the Chicago Bulls.

00:35The Sacramento Kings are now last year's Chicago Bulls with Sabonis. So we'll see what works out.

00:41I mean, Levine's been having a nice season. Um, he's just been healthy, right? Been healthy. Yeah.

00:46Been healthy, been healthy. And, uh, and is, is having a nice season. I don't,

00:50yeah, I don't know what that does in the West, but maybe it's, you're, you're going to have

00:54still that point production of whatever you lose from Fox. And then Fox goes and teams up with

00:58Wemby. I understand that a lot of heat fans are pissed because of this, but look, they don't have

01:02any picks. I don't know what to tell you. Like if that's, if I said, if the, he wanted to get in

01:06that game for De'Aaron Fox, you would have had to call up and been like, you guys want color where

01:11you guys want Nico, you know, like, and I think he really had a place where they want to make

01:16that trade. I don't think so. I don't think I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't either. That that's,

01:22that's 100. I think I get the fact that they want to win and I get the fact they want to compete,

01:34but I think it's time now for the heat to try to grab a new core, build around that new core

01:46and go that route instead of trying to add a superstar or whatever,

01:50which is a core I'm having, which is a core, by the way, I'm having a lot of fun watching.

01:54I really am. Like I'm watching these tall guys, that tall lineup closing. And like,

01:58that to me is the most interesting heat, regular season lineup in a long time. It's fun.

02:04And then any player that's added should compliment those guys, no matter how great

02:11they are. So that's kind of where I would hope they go because, you know, we need a nice little

02:18stretch with, you know, we've been for the last few years, been two or three stars and others.

02:26And now you got a core that goes deep in the guys that you, you, you know,

02:33trained that you've drafted or you've brought in a lot of young guys. So I want to see where it goes.
