Miami Heat will add a superstar (Giannis, Bradley Beal or Dame, etc.) next to Jimmy and Bam, plus the youngster core of Herro, Duncan Robinson and Nunn and KZ Okpala, so get used to seeing plenty of Heat in the finals for several seasons to come...#Culture

Looks like mostly everyone forgot about the Warriors.

Nah, if anything the Warriors got too many votes on this poll. Their team right now is weaker than the 2015 team that won, and even then, that 2015 team likely wouldn't have won if the Cavs didn't have so many major injuries

I predict the Rockets will find an unknown 7'2'' prospect in Lesotho. Despite never having played basketball, he will win MVP and lead the team to its first title since before he was born. Then he will go on to have a career that will fall somewhere between Hakeem Olajuwon's and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's.

It's no secret that Miami has been saving up cap space for a while towards the 2021 free agency, the year Giannis will be a FA and NBA experts are predicting that Miami is one of or perhaps the top destination for Giannis if leaves the Bucks. If you don't know that, then you been living under a rock. Plus, Giannis and Bam share the same agent and workout together during offseasons, so the Heat might have inside information to be pinning all their hopes towards getting Giannis. If they can't get Giannis, the 2021 FA period will be rich and the Heat with plenty of cap space will be getting a superstar caliber player.

Now, with the Heat having reached the finals and having young assets, and already being an attractive destination without state income tax, Riley might be also looking to speed up the process and go the route of trading some of his young assets for a superstar player this upcoming off season. If Giannis does not want to sign an extension, it could become interesting.
