Miami Heat

Hassan Whiteside is, apparently, a wanted man. This should definitely come as something of a surprise. Whiteside has shown a lot of growth on the defensive end when he’s engaged, particularly in space, where he uses his length to offset mobility deficits against guards and wings. But he’s a seesawing offensive contributor, and more importantly, [...]

If you’re expecting the Miami Heat to pivot into a rebuild this season, keep dreaming. Any real reset starts with the team realizing it won’t have meaningful cap flexibility until 2020 at the earliest. From there, the Heat cannot be totally serious about rebuilding unless they move Goran Dragic. And according to ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe, [...]

Despite being the Miami Heat’s highest paid player, Hassan Whiteside hasn’t been playing as many minutes or finishing games on a nightly basis since returning from his knee injury. Whiteside has averaged 11 points, eight rebounds and 1.5 blocks in just over 20 minutes per game in his last six games, and while he is [...]

Hassan Whiteside was yanked from the Miami Heat’s Monday night loss to the Golden State Warriors for what appeared to be poor defensive effort. Afterward, he received what we can only assume was a stern-yet-loving-yet-also-concerned talking to from Miami Heat captains Goran Dragic, James Johnson and Udonis Haslem. The Miami Herald‘s Manny Navarro has the details: [...]

Sitting at 3-5, the losers of four straight, with a bottom-two defense to their name, the Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t doing well. Most people in and around the NBA aren’t too worried. The Eastern Conference is still a wide-open pit of mediocrity. The Cavaliers have LeBron James. They have a bunch of new faces. Isaiah Thomas [...]

Hassan Whiteside has missed the Miami Heat’s past five games with a bruised left knee, and it doesn’t seem like he’ll be returning to the lineup in short order. Well that, or his return will be instantaneous, coming with out warning from the organization. Those are the only two potential conclusions we can draw at [...]

Hopes were high for the Miami Heat to start this season. They still kind of are. They finished last year on a 31-10 tear, and team president Pat Riley invested a bunch of money in sustaining and building on top of that scintillating core. Which is why the Heat’s 2-3 start to the regular season [...]

Dwyane Wade may now be a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he plans on donning a Miami Heat Jersey one more time before he retires, whenever that may be. As he told the Associated Press‘ Tim Reynolds: “Miami, the door’s always unlocked,” Wade told AP. “One day I want to retire in a Miami Heat [...]

Micky Arison has been the owner of the Miami Heat through the Alonzo Mourning era, Shaq and Wade era and the Big 3 in Miami. He is a staple of the local culture and city. He along with the Miami Heat Charitable Fund, Carnival Corporation and the Micky and Madeleine Arison Family Foundation, have announced [...]

The Miami Heat are all in on building around their core that helped lead them to a 30-11 record the second half of the 2016-17 season (Richardson was hurt for much of that) and are signing 23-year-old 3-and-D wing Josh Richardson to a four-year, $42 million extension. [tweet https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/908086432996229120] Richardson dealt with some injury issues [...]
