The NBA is absolutely terrified of this as we just got bombshell quotes from Brian Wynhorse,
one of the top insiders covering the game of basketball, on LeBron James and why Miami is
by far and away the best fit for him this offseason as he looks to make the second decision, the second
largest decision in his NBA career. I'm here to break down brand new quotes from Brian Wynhorse
and why they make perfect sense and LeBron James to Miami could be the best option for him this
offseason despite the surplus of teams looking to go out there and acquire him. I'm here to break
down all of those quotes and all of those reasons on this episode of Heat Digest so let's not waste
any time and get right to it breaking down the news as Brian Wynhorse has been working overtime
as a lot of these NBA analysts and insiders have been for the last few weeks as everyone is waiting
on the LeBron James decision 2.0 if you will and on NBA on ESPN if you want to go watch the entire
segment it is on YouTube but we are going to break down the quotes from Brian Wynhorse exactly
because he might be on the some he might be on to something as we've discussed Wynhorse quotes,
Shams quotes, Jake Fisher, all of these notable names covering the game of basketball for the
last few weeks as LeBron despite acquiring Giannis for this Heat team and Bobby Portis for that
matter LeBron seems like he could be one of the biggest dominoes to fall this offseason if he
decides to choose Miami and run it back again and come back and finish the job and win another
championship alongside another another big three create another big three this time without Dwayne
Wade and Chris Bosh but this time with Giannis and Bam Audubia with a great collection of role
players around them so let's get to some of the quotes we'll start with this one from Brian
Wynhorse as he had a lot to say today on NBA on ESPN and I love all of them I love all of them
because I couldn't agree more with a lot of these quotes from Brian Wynhorse in the ideas in general
so we'll break down the quotes and then elaborate on the ideas itself and we'll get to that in just
a second but first this quote from Brian Wynhorse as oh man I just I love this idea I love love this
idea I know everyone is I feel like there's a lot of Heat Nation that's really split between the
idea of LeBron returning to Miami just bear with me here Wynhorse goes on to say the team that
makes the most natural basketball fit to me perk is the Heat if he wants to go play where he go
back into the role as the ball handler Miami has the role for him to be the primarily primary ball
handler because they have Bam and Giannis and they have guys who can play the big man position
and protect him defensively at this stage of his career he can have moments of good defense
two weeks ago I didn't have Miami at the top I wasn't even putting them in the top two or three
which is interesting that last quote or that last sentence I should say of this quote because
it felt like Wynhorse has been secretly pointing to Miami for a lot of these ideas
it felt like Cleveland was obviously obviously up there Minnesota Denver there was a few other
teams that had respectable options for LeBron James this offseason but it feels like now it
Wynhorse has finally been pushed over the edge the needle has finally been pushed and he's really
leaning towards Miami in this idea that he would be the best fit in Miami why you have two guys
for reasons we've already broken down on this channel I should mention the defense you have
two guys specifically in Giannis and Bam on a bio who are going to be juggernauts specifically on
the defensive end not doubting their offensive capabilities but specifically on the defensive
end how are people going to score on those two guys especially when you add the idea that Andrew
Wiggins is still there when you add De'Veon Mitchell someone who is nicknamed off night
from his tenure at Baylor in college the defense is going to be absolutely absurd and we mentioned
it in the last episode of Heat Digest discussing LeBron James how they might be able to win games
100 to 90 like they might be able to keep teams from scoring 100 points which doesn't happen in
today's game because everyone lives and dies by dies by the three-point shot Miami with their
defensive capabilities without LeBron James are just superb and at the top of the league a team
in an organization that has been run and fueled on defensive presence I know the last two weeks of
last season were abysmal specifically on the defensive end but if you look at the time up
until that point where the defense basically got up and left town and never came back and even made
an appearance for that matter the defense was superb in years past the defense was superb and
now it's only gotten better not to mention Bobby Portis is there the the defense is going to be
able to work and even if LeBron gets blown by as much as Tyler Hero did in the last few years in
Miami they're running into a problem in the painted area or even in the three-point line
within the three-point line I should say again Wiggins, Portis, Antetokounmpo and
Ottobio with De'Veon Mitchell those five guys alone are going to create a standard defensively
that is going to be mind-numbing to game plan against and attempt to attack offensively and I
LeBron you don't have to play defense if you come to Miami you can just let guys go right by you
as long as you go help side when Ottobio crashes from help side or Giannis comes in or Portis
whoever shifts over to take their man and come help side all you have to do is rotate over and
shell over and jump a lane and create steals which are going to be at a surplus because everyone else
is going to panic when they run into a brick wall of those collection of players that are going to
If you look at Cleveland the team the Cavs here have is reminiscent of the Lakers team he's
leaving the Sixers have a number of ball handlers the ball handling role is wide open in Miami the
history is there in Miami the star power is there in Miami as I've had conversations over the last
few weeks Miami continues to make more and more sense to me the more you talk about this with NBA
teams even the teams that are recruiting LeBron the team they see is is the best basketball fit
it's Miami it even teams around the association are now becoming worrisome that this fit makes
too much sense for LeBron James to pass up you walk into a situation where you have star power
two legitimate juggernauts as well as a great collection of role players whether it's in the
sense of the ability to score the basketball or the ability to defend it is going to take pressure
especially defensively if you walk into Miami and you want to play the point forward position
like we've seen in the past in LeBron's career it is going to work why because we know LeBron
has the ability to not only rebound the basketball but then bring the ball up the court initiate and
then facilitate the offense what do we what I don't even have to explain this to you guys if
you've watched LeBron James play more than 15 minutes of basketball in your life you understand
his abilities not only in the sense of the collection of abilities he maintains but
specifically the ability to initiate and facilitate the basketball is otherworldly especially for a
guy who is a small forward naturally 6'8 in frame with a 240 pounds he is a monstrous human being
and when you add the ability to handle the basketball and facilitate and make any pass
on the basketball court this is perfect look at the assist numbers they are phenomenal they have
been phenomenal he has always been able to do that and not to mention the defensive abilities
he does maintain I know he's 400 years old and has played for a million years in the association
he still has the ability to rotate over jump passing lanes why because he has the mind he
has the brain the basketball brain specifically to go out there and know exactly what's going to
happen before it happens it's something we've witnessed since he was 18 years old coming out
of Akron Ohio as a high school student and playing in the association being one of if not
the best player in the world at that time and honestly he hasn't dipped below that threshold
one time in his career yes other players become great and other players make a run at that MVP
or at that that label of being the best in the world LeBron James in the sense of consistency
and reliability it's hard to argue against him and a lot of it goes to the the fact that he has such
a great basketball mind and you hear guys like Iman Shepard JR Smith and those Richard uh Richard
Jefferson and others talk about how just intelligent how smart he is and knowing hey we're gonna walk
down the floor and we're gonna run this set until they make a change because I know what they're
doing defensively and they can't stop this scheme and we're going to keep doing it over and over and
over and over again until they make a change and it's it's exploited it's highlighted something
now we continue the final quote from Brian Winhorse again from that ESPN segment we've
mentioned earlier he goes on the scene excuse me to say this team is not a finished product
you'd be wagering on Pat Riley and Andy Ellsberg to build it over or out over the next couple of
transaction cycles there are worse bets to make in the NBA Brian Winhorse alluding to the idea
that if you're going to have faith in an organization to continue to bolster a lineup
around Giannis Bam Bobby Portis and LeBron James as well as the guys that are already there in
Tim Hardaway Jr De'Veon Mitchell Andrew Wiggins Fontecchio and various others Jovic
like if you're gonna have faith in anybody to do it Pat Riley when he already has all
these chips on the table and knows how close he actually is to winning an NBA title
why wouldn't he show why would he shy away why wouldn't he go all in if this isn't considered
being all in already what are we talking about guys this team I know is on paper it doesn't look
like it's complete because there's not enough three-point shooting and they need one more center
it's coming it's going to happen give it some time everyone is waiting on LeBron James and
once that officially happens they will still have one more roster spot to go out there and
acquire a big name and that does not leave out the idea of possibly trading someone like Nikola
Jovic or even other players a part of this heat organization to continue to bolster this lineup
and possibly even draft compensation the lack that they have going forward they have opportunity
the door is not shut if LeBron lands here to continue to bolster this lineup and add more
fuel to the fire I absolutely love these ideas from Brian Windhorse I think it is an absolute
shoe-in for LeBron James in the sense of fit in the sense of basketball fit on the court because
of what he can do even at the prehistoric age that he maintains I'm just joking LeBron James I don't
think you're prehistoric even if you were 100 years old I would bet on you to be productive
especially in the system with the collection of players surrounding you let me know down below
how do you guys feel about the idea of LeBron joining this team do you think it would work
do you think it would be questionable how do you feel about it I personally love it let me know
down below how you feel and I'll see you guys on the next episode of Heat Dodgers
