Locked On Heat, 7/21: Who is the Heat's Most Important Player?

Should the Miami Heat trade for Kevin Durant this summer, or wait until next summer when they can potentially sign him as a free agent and keep their assets? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil tackle the burning question: Should the Heat pursue KEVIN DURANT? They analyze KD's impact, weighing his recent PHOENIX SUNS performance against age concerns. The duo explores the benefits of a potential "gap year" for developing young talent like Kel'el Ware. They imagine future roster scenarios, debating the merits of waiting for 2026 free agents TRAE YOUNG and LUKA DONCIC versus making immediate moves. The conversation shifts to the HEAT's front office strategy and its implications for acquiring top talent.0:00 Intro: Kevin Durant to Miami?2:31 Statistical projections for Durant in Miami4:47 Value in getting better, even if not favorites12:44 Rumors of Durant to San Antonio Spurs15:26 Benefits of taking a "gap year"25:52 Potential 2026-27 Heat roster scenariosBecome a Locked On Heat Insider on Subtext! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonheat Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!OLIPOPGet a free can of OLIPOP!
