The Heat Assist Podcast

What a week for Miami! The Heat made a huge splash during the NBA trade deadline this past Thursday by winning the Andre Iguodala sweepstake! Pat Riley (aka the Godfather) was able to shed Dion Waiter’s and James Johnson’s heavy contracts, but at a heavy cost for a Heat favorite. Trading Justise Winslow was a tough sacrifice but in return, the Heat will be strengthened with the additions of Andre Iguodala, Jae Crowder, and Solomon Hill. David and Steven go into detail as to how the losses and additions of these specific players will impact the Heat. We also discuss the Heat’s struggles against the Clippers and Kings, as they were significantly short handed due to injuries, zone defense, and the trade deadline. Finally, we preview how we expect the Heat to perform in their upcoming back-to-back games against the Portland Trailblazers and Golden State Warriors.
