    We don’t know what this Miami Heat offseason will hold given the current state of the Eastern Conference, but many are bracing for a very wacky summer. The Heat are coming off a 37-win season, their worst since 2014-15. The expectation is that Miami will go after Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, but ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel recently linked it to Kings veteran DeMar DeRozan. Miami was allegedly in the hunt for the six-time All-Star last year.

    Matt Hanifan / NBA / May 27, 2025While the San Antonio Spurs didn’t win the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes, they struck gold by landing the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Most of us thought they would use that to potentially target Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the word on the street suggests they will take lauded Rutgers point guard Dylan Harper No. 2 overall.

    The Latest from @HotHotHoops on YouTube So, there were four! According to longtime Phoenix Sports radio host and Suns insider John Gambadoro, Miami Heat assistant head coach Chris Quinn is among the final four finalists for the Phoenix Suns head coaching job, he confirmed Tuesday. It was reported earlier this month that Quinn was fielding interest from Phoenix after doing interviews with the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers their job openings last summer.

    So, there were four!According to longtime Phoenix Sports radio host and Suns insider John Gambadoro, Miami Heat assistant head coach Chris Quinn is among the final four finalists for the Phoenix Suns head coaching job, he confirmed Tuesday. Of the four names, two of the others were Cavaliers assistants Johnnie Bryant and Jordan Ott. Not accurate. It is down to four. Chris Quinn, Johnnie Bryant and Jordan Ott I can confirm through various sources are in the Final Four.

    Almost one year ago, the Miami Heat were allegedly in the hunt for DeMar DeRozan once again. DeRozan, coming off a strong season with Chicago, turned down a lofty extension before signing a three-year, $74 million deal with the Sacramento Kings in a three-team sign-and-trade. The Kings cleaned house this offseason, firing general manager Monty McNair moments after getting eliminated in the play-in, eventually getting replaced by former Knicks executive Scott Perry.

Every dollar matters. How you allocate said dollars has never been more important.

I’d say the NBA is at a period where cap sheets have to be balanced as best as possible. It’s a serious accounting game. Right contracts, for the right talent, at the right time. In the past you could get away with bad long term deals for multiple years and contend for titles
