What did the win mean?

Can the Heat keep thriving with just seven or eight players?

Miami Heat: addressing Jrue Holiday rumors + Sixers preview Dec 18, 2019

Show notes

Ethan Skolnick wasn't here for this one so Alphonse Sidney, Alex Toledo and Greg 'Leif' Sylvander come on to discuss whether Jrue Holiday, who the Pelicans are apparently listening to offers for, (via Marc Stein of the New York Times), would be a good fit on the Heat and whether or not him, or others who could become available, are worth giving up young assets for.

Afterwards, we discuss the Heat's injury troubles leading to their short rotation, which will be a problem on the road in Philadelphia.

Come to our watch party for tomorrow night's big game! Located at Gold Club in Pompano Beach.
