The Miami Heat's pursuit of Klay Thompson appears to have finally paid off.
Dallas has officially bought out Thompson's contract, and the future Hall of Fame shooter is expected to sign with Miami after clearing waivers. Now the conversation changes.
On today's Battered Heat Fans, we're asking where a core of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Davion Mitchell ranks in a loaded Eastern Conference.
Are the Heat now good enough to win the East? Did Miami make the right decision waiting for Klay instead of pursuing DeMar DeRozan, who is heading to Denver? And even after adding one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, does Pat Riley still need another scorer, point guard or backup center before training camp?
We'll also discuss Nick Richards working out in Miami, Vin Baker joining Erik Spoelstra's coaching staff and reuniting with Giannis, and how Cleveland's latest moves affect the Eastern Conference race.
The Heat got their shooter.
Now the question is whether they have a championship roster.
