Locked On Heat - Daily Podcast On The Miami Heat

Miami Heat face difficult decisions at shooting guard as Tyler Herro’s season disappoints and durability questions loom. Could a blockbuster trade reshape the core, or is it time to bet on Norm Powell’s consistency at a cap-friendly deal?

The episode also spotlights Myron Gardner’s breakout, the importance of Heat culture, and potential offseason moves. With the shooting guard rotation in flux, will the Heat prioritize star power, financial flexibility, or internal development as they chart their next chapter in the NBA?
