More "Heat" Good News

ESPN’s Bobby Marks predicts Kawhi Leonard will be moved to the Miami Heat this summer:
“The Heat would retain the No. 13 pick in June's draft, along with 10 players from this season's team, including Bam Adebayo. And because they are taking back less money in the trade, Miami could also re-sign free agent Norman Powell and still remain under the luxury tax.”

Good News for "Heat": Giannis Antetokounmpo Available
🍺co-owner Jimmy Haslam is tired of the drama. He (and ownership) will make decision:
"I just think before the draft is a natural time. ...We don't know whether Giannis will stay with us or not, but we'll work through that with Giannis in the coming weeks. ... So sometime over the next six or seven weeks, we'll decide whether Giannis is going to sign a max contract and stay with us, or he's going to play somewhere else. And Jon [Horst, GM] and Taylor [Jenkins, HC], along with (co-owner) Wes (Edens) and myself will make that call, and we understand the gravity of that call."Public Occurrences May 6, 2026
Impulsive Florida Felon Going to China While Strait of Hormuz Remains Closed
“This is not an administration that operates based on a policy process. It operates based on impulse. And the president seems now both tired of this war and reluctant to continue investing his political capital into it. Going to China while the strait remains closed is humiliating for President Trump and puts China in a position of strength vis-a-vis the United States, because President Trump would have to, as he has done recently, ask for China’s help to resolve a problem that didn’t exist before he launched a war." --Ali Vaez, Iran director, International Crisis Group.

I see I have some company from cleveland.com in that last opinion...
The Cavs tied the game — for just the second time all night — with 5:28 remaining, sending a hush through the arena.
But "mentally tough Detroit", led by former Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff, didn’t rattle

Detroit is a very good team. Their 60-22 record wasn’t an accident. They earned it with their zest for defense and general mental toughness.
Reasonably it could...
I see I have some company in that last opinion...
From 5:28 4Q...
When Beard made 3 FTs to tie it at 93, Z outscored SC 18-8 to win. That there's a closing KICK. Well-done, Z!!
Jalen Duren was immense in the 4th quarter. His block of ex-High Ceilingist Thomas Bryant at 10:03 is one of ESPN's highlights...But Duren wasn't done. In the last 5' when the game was won, Duren blocked another one, this time by Beard, got the rebound and scored on a dunk at the other end; Sensitives then missed, Duren got the 'board and scored on another dunk--that's another ESPN highlight; Sensitive called a Full Sensitivity Training; at 3:54 Duren dunked another one to give Zollner a 99-93 lead; at 2:17 Jenkins missed, Duren got the o-bound and Tobias Harris scored to put Z up 105-96.
Not taking anything away from the other Tin Men, but to me it's a fair read of that 4th quarter that Jalen Duren had what Zollner needed most at the time that they needed it most.
