Despite massive trades happening around the league, like Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis, disgruntled Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has not been traded yet. Reports indicate that Butler is only willing to play for the Phoenix Suns, making the road for Pat Riley to unload him increasingly difficult. Hosts Ethan Skolnick and Alex Donno discuss this never-ending saga.

Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander discuss the Grizzlies option, among others.

Tyler Herro & Bam Adebayo are back -- what changes for Miami Heat? Dec 18, 2023

At last, the Miami Heat will be nearly whole on Monday night, as the Minnesota Timberwolves visit. They will get two of their stars back, in Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo. Adebayo figures to fit seamlessly, but much has changed on the wings and in the backcourt since Herro went out more than five weeks ago. Ethan, Greg, Alex and Brady discuss how the Heat will work him back in, in terms of role and responsibility, and how he will fit with the emerging Jaime Jaquez Jr., among others.

Miami Heat: Shredded by Bulls guards, fall to 14-11 Dec 15, 2023

The Miami Heat played without Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Haywood Highsmith again -- and didn't have Josh Richardson either. But they should have had enough to beat the Bulls. Instead they got off to a 33-8 deficit, and couldn't climb all the way back. Ethan and Greg discuss the disappointing point-of-attack defense, Jimmy Butler's blase performance, Jaime Jaquez's continued growth and more.

Miami Heat: How do they get on a run? Dec 21, 2022

Justin has a strong suggestion related to Tyler Herro, while others point to what's needed from Butler, the front office and more.

It's clear the Miami Heat can use another piece in their rotation, preferably in the frontcourt. But they need a partner.

Miami Heat: Tyler Herro entering Season 3 Aug 19, 2021

After recent episodes focusing on the newcomers to the Miami Heat roster, the hosts (Ethan, Greg, Alex) turn their attention to one of the more important holdovers, Tyler Herro.

Perhaps a victim of expectations and circumstances in his second season, Herro has been working out differently entering his third.

How will his role change with Kyle Lowry on board? Can he lead the bench unit without Goran Dragic around? And can he earn a core spot in the Heat future, rather than being seen as a "chip" for another major acquisition?

Miami Heat: Do Fans Overvalue, or Undervalue, Their Own? Jul 20, 2021

A more philosophical debate in today's episode:

Last season, Heat fans were accused of overvaluing the likes of Tyler Herro and KZ Okpala and Precious Achiuwa when it came to trade conversations.

Miami Heat: Dragic Rises in Win w Bulls (Plus Precious, Value Plays) Mar 13, 2021

The Heat needed a scorer to help them break out of a funk against the Chicago Bulls, and Goran Dragic stepped up. The Heat veteran scored 25 points, all in the second half, as Miami pushed to 19-17 on the season.

How often can Miami expect this from their 34-year-old sixth man?

And what's happened to Precious Achiuwa in the rotation?

Ethan and Greg discuss, then Ethan is tested by Eric Brown (FiveReasonsRealtor.com) in their weekly Value Plays segment.

Miami Heat: Olynyk, Butler big in win, but what's with the shooting? Mar 12, 2021

The Miami Heat escaped against Nik Vucevic and the G-League version of the Orlando Magic to get to 19-18 on the season.

-- Did tonight show how much the Heat need to keep and supplement Kelly Olynyk, rather than trade him?

-- Why do the Heat continue to struggle so much from deep?

Miami Heat: Waiting for the Bam Takeover Mar 03, 2021

The Miami Heat's six-game win streak ended in a humbling loss to the Atlanta Hawks, with just 14 fourth quarter points, as Jimmy Butler missed another game.

While many players were to blame, Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander focus on Bam Adebayo, who took just eight shots.

Why is he not taking over offensively when Miami needs it? Is it scheme or mindset?

Miami Heat: It's Enough after awful L vs. Clippers Feb 16, 2021

There's no excusing this one. Facing a team without four starters, including Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Miami Heat couldn't guard anyone and fell to 11-16 on the season.

Ethan Skolnick is joined by Five Reasons Sports contributors (and Clutch Corner hosts) Adam Borai and Michael Christian to chart the course from here, if there is one. That includes such previously unappealing scenarios such as taking a step back for the future -- maybe even trading Goran Dragic for a first round pick.

James Harden wanted out of Houston, as we first reported at Five Reasons Sports Network more than a month ago.

How did it happen? Who won the trade? And what do the Heat do now?

Our 5-part series on the Riley press conference starts in earnest in our next episode.

The Miami Heat's 2019-20 Forever Bubble Season Oct 21, 2020

It didn't end in an NBA title but, by most Miami Heat fans, 2019-20 will never be forgotten.

Few seasons in local sports history have had the impact on the community that this one did, even though no one could watch the playoffs in person.

Ethan Skolnick and Alphonse Sidney put the Bubble season in perspective, through the eyes of listeners and Twitter followers, and the response to one @5ReasonsSports tweet: "For many, the Miami Heat were about the only good thing about 2020."

Miami Heat: Does DeMar DeRozan fit? Oct 20, 2020

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Nekias Duncan (of BasketballNews.com) discuss whether this is a reasonable option in a trade, what it would take, and how he would work with Jimmy Butler and others on the Heat.

Miami Heat offseason: A J-Rich reunion? Oct 19, 2020

Miami has an eye on new whales in 2021, but could it bring in an old face sooner?

Josh Richardson didn't love his Philadelphia experience, and the 76ers may be looking to move money. Richardson wasn't ideal as a first option for the Heat, but as a third or fourth or fifth who can defend guards, a real team weakness?

Ethan Skolnick, Alex Toledo and Nekias Duncan (BasketballNews.com) discuss the idea from all sides -- and make some other suggestions of defensive guards who could come cheaper.

Does Bam Adebayo ask to sign an extension now?

If so, that has ramifications on the pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Should the Heat budge if so? How does Giannis' agent come into play? And, in general, should the Heat act like a team that just reached the NBA Finals, or is earlier in its process?

Are the Boston Celtics the Miami Heat's main rival again? Sep 22, 2020

The Boston Celtics seemed like a likable team before this series... to some of us.

Now? Not so much.

Chris Joseph of Ballcast on the Five Reasons Sports Network joins to discuss what makes the Celtics -- and their fans -- so loathsome -- and helps Ethan, Alf and Greg put the Celtics rivalry in context with the others the Heat had, or have.

Bonus: Today's Zoom group media interviews with Heat forwards Jae Crowder and Andre Iguodala.

Disclaimer: More mature language in this episode than usual, and Ethan screwed up his settings so his microphone sounds different. Enjoy!

In a Zone: Dragic, Bam Lead Heat in Game 2 Sep 18, 2020

Erik Spoelstra pulled out a wrinkle in Game 2: even more zone defense. That move, and strong play from Goran Dragic, Bam Adebayo and others, helped the Heat overcome a 17-point deficit and win Game 2 against the Boston Celtics.

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Alex Toledo discuss, with Alex bringing back the latest from the player interviews. Also, Ethan and Greg make some grand proclamations.

Bam! Miami Heat block Boston Celtics in Game 1 OT Thriller Sep 16, 2020

Jimmy Butler had the big bucket, Tyler Herro had a near triple double, Goran Dragic had the energy throughout (and 29 points), and Bam Adebayo had a block for the ages of Celtics star Jayson Tatum as the Miami Heat won Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Brady Hawk break it all down. Where does the Bam block rank? What's sustainable in the Marcus Smart vs. Jae Crowder battle? And which of the Heat's supporting players may not be playable going forward?

Herro Ball! Rookie leads Miami Heat to Eastern Conference Finals Sep 09, 2020

The kid did it. With the Miami Heat's All-Stars struggling, Tyler Herro played an exceptional overall game as the Heat beat the Giannis-less Milwaukee Bucks to win their second round series in five games. Next: the Celtics or Raptors.

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander, Brady Hawk and (after the Zoom interviews) Alex Toledo discuss not only the win, but the significance of it. To Ethan, this is the most satisfying of all the Pat Riley builds, and a testament to Erik Spoelstra's elite status.

Miami Heat: Dragic, Bam Sweep Pacers; Giannis up next Aug 25, 2020

The Miami Heat, picked by most national media members to be fighting for a playoff spot this season, have swept the Indiana Pacers, 4-0 -- behind another great closing push from Goran Dragic and dynamic all-around play from Bam Adebayo. And they did it on a night when Jimmy Butler was limited by a shoulder injury.

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Alex Toledo put the series in perspective, thinking back to the objectives in training camp. And they project forward to a likely second round matchup with free agent target (and likely 2-time MVP) Giannis Antetokounmpo. What is the most important factor in beating the Milwaukee Bucks?

What did Sixers loss say about Miami Heat? Nov 25, 2019

In this episode, Ethan wasn’t able to catch the Heat-Sixers game live, fortunately for him, so he steps aside to mediate an argument between Alphonse Sidney and Alex Toledo that had been going on since the second quarter:

So how much should we derive based off the weekend slate of games after a blowout win against the Bulls and a blowout loss to a conference rival? Just how good is this Miami Heat team, now and going forward? With and without Justise Winslow, Derrick Jones Jr., etc.

Positive Miami Heat Surprises: Ethan, Alf, Alex, Zach Nov 17, 2019

After another home win, this time against the busted up New Orleans Pelicans, the Miami Heat now stand at 9-3, good for second in the Eastern Conference, (still ahead of the Bucks and Sixers). Kendrick Nunn had another game where he led the team in scoring, while the team as a whole continued to look very cohesive on the floor on both ends.

Since we had 4 guys credentialed at the game, we did things a little different today. Ethan Skolnick asked Alex Toledo, Alphonse Sidney and Zach Buckley individually, what has been the team's most surprising development through these first 12 games?

Miami Heat - Jimmy Butler's Debut + Herro Breakout Oct 30, 2019

Jimmy Butler made his debut for the Heat tonight and took home the W, as we all expected. Weirdly enough, neither him or Goran Dragic (both finished with 21 points) were the leading scorers tonight. It was Tyler Herro, who broke multiple rookie scoring records for the Heat, finishing with 29 points and 16 free throw attempts, (41 FTA between him, Butler and Bam).

Ethan J. Skolnick and Alex Toledo recap the game and go over the Bucket Bros' (check out our shirts on fivereasonssports.com) impact as well as their surprisingly good offense, the turnovers, and the rotation going forward.
