Miami Heat Mock Offseason 4.0: Can Miami Actually Build Around Giannis and Kawhi?

About this episode

Wes Goldberg and David Ramil explore a hypothetical offseason for the Miami Heat involving trades for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard.

What if the Miami Heat landed both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard this offseason? In the latest edition of Mock Offseason, Wes Goldberg and David Ramil take on one of the most ambitious scenarios yet. Starting with a rumored idea making the rounds online, the guys construct a hypothetical offseason where Miami acquires Giannis from Milwaukee and Kawhi from the Clippers. First, they negotiate the blockbuster trades. What would it cost to land Giannis? Could the Heat realistically put together a package for Kawhi after already making a franchise-altering move? Then, the challenge becomes filling out the roster. With limited cap flexibility and only a portion of the mid-level exception available, Wes and David search for affordable solutions at point guard, wing depth and the frontcourt. Names discussed include Collin Sexton, Anfernee Simons, Gabe Vincent, Russell Westbrook, Matisse Thybulle, Cam Whitmore, John Collins, Precious Achiuwa and more. Finally, they deliver their verdict: if Miami somehow landed both Giannis and Kawhi, would the championship upside outweigh the enormous risks?
