"Heat" weren't done!

Shams wrote last night that there were some ends still loose in the deal, then this morning that the unfinished business, all somehow connected to the Jimmy-Wiggins  main event, was with Ontario State. Just before noon Shams announced that the Miami team had acquired Davion Mitchell (26, 6'2" pg, 6.3, 1.9, 4.6) for PJ Tucker (reacquired last night from Jizz) a second rounder and cash considerations.

Pat Riley is remaking the Jimmy Butler era roster bit-by-bit, but entirely. Davion Mitchell makes it three live bodies and one inchoate one added in 24 hours. The moves enhance personnel and salary flexibility in preparation for a run at LA-LA Lu-Ka in 2026. Is Luka going to be the new chimera that Kevin Durant was? Hard for me to see Luka not resigning with LA.
