Klay Thompson drops scary Heat & Giannis Antetokounmpo championship proclamation

The Heat added a 41% career 3-point shooter on a team-friendly $11.5 million contract, giving the roster room to add two minimum deals.

  • After acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo and signing Klay Thompson last week, the Miami Heat roster remains incomplete; the franchise is now aggressively pursuing a starting-caliber point guard to run the offense.
  • Speculation linking Jrue Holiday to Miami persists, but Portland Trail Blazers officials have no intent to trade the 36-year-old veteran; NBA insider Jake Fischer confirmed the rumors are purely speculative.
  • Chicago Bulls rising star Tre Jones has emerged as a primary target for the Heat; the 26-year-old floor general averaged 14 points and 5.4 assists per game while shooting over 55 percent from the field.
  • Adding Jones would provide the Heat a playmaker to exploit the offensive gravity of Antetokounmpo, offering a solution to the vacancy at the position.
  • The Heat still holds three roster spots open, with expectations to fill at least two before the 2026-27 season as the team positions itself to challenge for championships.
