We’ll also break down Bobby Portis’ introductory press conference, discussing how he fits alongside Giannis and Bam Adebayo and what kind of energy he’ll bring to Heat Culture.
Plus, we’ll react to the NBA’s decision not to discipline Bam Adebayo following the reported offseason altercation involving former Heat guard Tyler Herro, and what that means moving forward.
