EMERGENCY POD: Klay Thompson is Signing With the Miami Heat

Locked On Podcast Network, David Ramil — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 02:59:36 GMT

Wes Goldberg and David Ramil jump on for an emergency Locked On Heat podcast after the Dallas Mavericks bought out Thompson and Shams Charania reported that the five-time All-Star will sign a two-year, $13 million contract with Miami, including a player option for the second season.

Why were the Heat willing to wait this long for Klay — even while other veterans came off the board? Wes shares what he had been hearing about Miami’s confidence that Thompson would eventually become available and why people around the NBA never expected Dallas to find a trade partner. Then, Wes and David break down the basketball fit. How much shooting does Klay add around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo? Should he start? Can Miami protect him defensively, and does this solve the Heat’s biggest roster problem? Finally, with DeMar DeRozan headed to Denver, what does Miami do with its remaining roster spot?

MAILBAG: What If the Miami Heat MISS on DeMar DeRozan AND Klay Thompson?

Locked On Podcast Network, David Ramil — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 16:06:39 GMT

What happens if the Miami Heat miss out on BOTH Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil open up the Locked On Heat mailbag to figure out Miami’s Plan C. Should the Heat stop waiting on Klay and make their move for DeRozan now? Or would they be better off preserving flexibility and looking elsewhere to finish the roster? Then, Wes and David pick the Heat player they’d most want to guarantee a breakout season from. Could Davion Mitchell become the playmaker Miami needs next to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo? Is Nikola Jovic ready for a major leap? And what would a Pelle Larsson breakout look like? Finally, they go shopping for “second draft” candidates, including Ben Saraf, Jordan Hawkins, Scoot Henderson and some intriguing young Rockets. Plus, could Trevor Keels or Keshad Johnson steal a roster spot, and would Erik Spoelstra have any interest in a Cam Thomas reclamation project?

Comparing the Miami Heat and New York Knicks roster with Zach Gelb

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 18:56:55 GMT

Did Davion Mitchell LEAK the Miami Heat’s Next Signing?

Locked On Podcast Network, David Ramil — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 17:19:55 GMT

Did Davion Mitchell accidentally break some Miami Heat free agency news?

A video posted by Mitchell from the Heat’s practice facility caught fans’ attention when Nick Richards and James Wiseman appeared in a workout alongside Mitchell, Bam Adebayo and Bobby Portis — with Richards even appearing to wear Heat gear.

Wes Goldberg and David Ramil investigate whether this is something or nothing and why Richards, one of the more logical remaining free-agent fits for Miami, still hasn’t officially signed. Could the two sides already have an understanding? What kind of contract could Richards command, and could Miami be waiting for another transaction before making anything official?

Then, Wes and David turn their attention to Wiseman. The former No. 2 overall pick’s NBA career hasn’t gone according to plan, but could Miami be the right place to take one more low-risk swing on his size and upside?

What's the Miami Heat's Future AFTER Pat Riley?

Locked On Podcast Network, David Ramil — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

The Lakers’ latest ownership drama raises a bigger question for the Miami Heat: What happens when one of the NBA’s most stable organizations eventually changes hands?

Wes Goldberg and David Ramil look at Micky Arison’s three decades of Heat ownership and debate the pros and cons of a potential ownership change. Would new ownership bring deeper pockets and a more aggressive approach? Or is the stability and continuity of the Arison era one of Miami’s biggest competitive advantages?

Then, they look beyond ownership to the future of the entire Heat organization. Did trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo give Pat Riley the final major move of his legendary career? And whenever Riley does step away, what could a succession plan involving Nick Arison, Andy Elisburg, Adam Simon and Erik Spoelstra look like?

Miami Heat’s NEXT MOVE: DeRozan, Strus or Something Else?

Locked On Podcast Network, David Ramil — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 15:12:51 GMT

The Miami Heat still have roster spots to fill, but their free-agent options are disappearing quickly. Should DeMar DeRozan become Miami’s priority?

Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down whether DeRozan makes sense alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo, whether he’s worth using the Heat’s remaining midlevel exception on, and how Miami should balance adding proven talent with concerns about shooting and fit.

Then, with Khris Middleton and Bradley Beal off the board and Haywood Highsmith returning to Phoenix, who’s actually left? Wes and David go through options including Gabe Vincent, Nic Batum and Nick Richards.

Finally, Max Strus could reportedly be available as Cleveland looks to shed salary. Would a reunion make sense — and is there actually a trade Miami and Cleveland could agree to?
