48 Minutes "Two-a-Days" Miami Heat and New Orleans Pelicans

You know what? This is a team that had the biggest, arguably made the biggest splash in the offseason by getting Giannis to come down there and to train a blockbuster trade.

Yeah.

they had to do something.

We talked about this somewhere.

They had to do some four straight seasons in the play in tournament.

I know one of them, they got out of it and made it to the NBA finals.

That's great.

But this is not a franchise that belongs in the play in tournament year in and year out.

And we saw the end results of it this past season.

They lost a, they lost a tough one in Charlotte to the Hornets and got eliminated before they even got a chance to get to the playoffs.

So, This is a franchise they want to compete.

They want to be among the best in the East.

They've had that success before, obviously, with LeBron and then without LeBron, as it turned out.

So the only way they're going to do that is to get players.

So they went out and got one of the best of all time, certainly one of the best in the league.

And the problem is, you look at this roster, exactly how much better are Are they, you know, they're better than they were a year ago, but are they really a contender in the East?

Yeah, a huge question there.

Another big question is the Giannis and Bam offensive chemistry.

Look, we know how elite their defense should be.

We've got very little concerns when it comes to that.

But offensively, you know, how is it all really going to work? I mean, one of the things, obviously, the biggest, most biased Giannis fan you will find is, But we didn't see everything always go so smoothly with even better chemistry pairing.

So we thought between Damian Lillard and Giannis out there on the floor together.

So how does it really work with two big men working together? Obviously, I think we'll see a lot more point Giannis this year.

But where does Bam factor into this equation world be?

I think Bam is still going to be a guy who gets his points.
