Miami Heat XMAS List: Giannis Trade, Jaime Jaquez Jr. Extension, Norm Powell All-star & More

Miami Heat fans are dreaming big this holiday season—could Giannis Antetokounmpo be the superstar gift that turns Miami into a contender again? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil explore Miami’s ultimate wish list, eyeing a closer for late-game heroics and debating if Giannis is the “Barbie Dream House” every fan craves under their tree. The hosts spotlight the importance of avoiding the play-in tournament, expectations for Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s upcoming extension, and the star power Miami desperately needs to return to Christmas Day NBA prominence.

From league-wide trade rumors to future-shifting storylines, the duo weighs the potential impact of Western Conference juggernauts like the Oklahoma City Thunder and the risk of talent drain in the East. A festive twist imagines Santa Claus running the Heat’s front office—who gets the coal, who lands the big present, and who leads the sleigh? Plus, a rapid-fire preview of the must-win matchup against the Toronto Raptors wraps up this special Christmas edition.

  2. This is ridiculous. At this point a win would be a miracle. Your podcast has devolved into just looking for clicks. You have zero credibility left. Unsubscribe.

  6. Yes he is Let’s trade bam for Giannis and keep herro our best shooter we will have a starting line up we will have herro at Pg, Powell at Sg, Wiggins Sf, Giannis at Pf and ware at c. we’re going to the finals🏆 trust where are gonna win the NBA championship with this roster herro and Powell the splash brothers Wiggins the wings, Giannis and ware the lob city we are winning the title now yall if we pull this we are gonna win the NBA championships 💯trust make this move and we are going back to the NBA finals and win this championship ring

  9. Yap yap yap yal overhyped a .500 basketball team. Tyler sucks shoulda been traded and heat did nothing in the offseason to make a difference. Spo cant coach 2 bigs together and bam still isnt an offensive threat. No actual guards with starting level skill and yal wont challenge the front office failure at building a team because of your media credentials being taken away. Boom 2026 Miami Heat😊

  10. SPO IS THE BEST COACH IN THE NBA… BUT HE CAN ONLY WIN ANYTHING WHEN HE'S CARRIED SUPER JIMMY OR THE BIG 3😂 HE GETS DESTROYED IN RD 1, BY RECORD MARGINS… AND HE'S THE BEST COACH IN THE NBA😂💩 🧢👎🏾

  13. STOP TALKING GREEK TRADE
    1)BUCKS don’t want bums and only 2pix
    2)GREEK is already on a play in team
    3)HEAT just being used bcs we saw what happened to Dame when he wanted 1 team

  14. Our wish list item is that Locked on Heat open their eyes about who Bam really is and begin appreciating how special Ware is so we can enjoy watching him grow into a Superstar for the next 10 years

  15. Number one wish is, Spo finally says in a presser, "I now realize Kelel is the best shooter and scorer on this team. Therefore his minutes and touches will be going way up." He should add, "We'll be setting way more plays for the the budding star, he has earned it." Trade Bam, Wiggs and Tyler for Giannis. Then the youth movement would be on bigtime with Giannis as the new anchor. Can you imagine those twin towers playing 25 minutes a game together? They would be the best tantum of rebounders on the same team in the last 10 years. One year from now Ware will make the all-star and average 20 pts and 12rbs.

  19. Ya guys really want to know how much better Ware is than Bam? Really???? Bam has played 718 minutes and taken a good 216 rebounds. Kelel played 714min and he has commanded, demanded and ripped off 311 rebounds, almost a hundred more; WOW!!!!! Greatest rebounder so far in the NBA is Kelel Ware. He is currently 6th rbs in league, he 6th in 3pt shooting and 12th in overall shooting; wow, Wow, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ware is more valuable than Powell or anyone else on the Heat, the Heat beat until BeWare is recognized as a great NBA player. Based on NBA value next season, he should earn 35-million
