The Heat Assist Podcast

Welcome to the first Heat Assist Podcast! Today, we cover the Heat’s successful week where they handedly beat the Orlando Magic and the Philadelphia 76ers. The crew discuss the key factors leading to their impressive victories, including dominating performances by Jimmy Butler who was not shy in letting his former team know they missed out on him. We also discuss the Heat’s chances for the playoffs given their possible playoff match-ups in the first-round, and whether Pat Riley should make a move to bolster the Heat’s roster to help them get further in the playoffs. Finally, as the 2020 trade deadlines approaches tomorrow, we discuss the biggest trade of the year so far (4 teams included!) where the Houston Rockets traded away their coveted big man, Clint Capela, to the Atlanta Hawks and the Rockets receive defensive stalwart Robert Covington and Jordan Bell from the Minnesota Timberwolves. We discussed in detail the implications of the trade to all four teams included and who came out the winner of the trade.
