Do we have a twosome comparable to either of these duos?
Can we really bank on Jalen being anywhere near the caliber of Paolo or Tatum?
Is Trae anywhere near those guys?

How does Miami keep pulling these types of performances from limited players?

Riley is the reason that Miami has dominated this division since his hire almost 30 years ago.

Is there a single basketball mind you'd be willing to turn the entire basketball operation over to for the next few decades?

We got to build a culture where guys are just dying to come to our team-- the way Miami has.

Switching directions every time we hit a bump in the road ain't getting us there.

They want it easy and cheap.

It's tough to say where we are.
We do have Trae.
Murray is under a good deal.
Most of our contracts are solid. Capela hurts a bit but that's about it. Trae maybe overpaid by my metrics but he more than makes up for it with his attendance draw locally.

The lack of control of draft picks in the next three years and we haven't shown the aggressive to spend is a massive flaw.

Huge signing for Orlando. He's exactly what they need.

2x NBA Champ that can become a legend long-term for Orlando. Excellent signing.

IDK about Pelle Larson, but I think Miami just rebuilt their entire front court through the draft:

Ware-Bam-Jaquez isn't spectacular, but it's a solid, above average trio that complements each other pretty strongly.

Miami's player development is a big reason they seem to be competitive most seasons -- in the regular season anyway.

But what's the reasoning for Edwards requesting to go to Miami?
There is no substance that even ties his speculation together.

Rivals matter in the playoffs. We need to be in the playoffs, otherwise it's just noise.

ARod will try an hold on to Edwards as long as possible. I don't believe Edwards will be a fixture in Minnesota hisbentire career but I also don't want him in Miami. Minnesota needs to go all in to keep him so maybe the new ownership does.
