While the Miami Heat weren't able to walk away with a win in their first outing of the 2025-26 NBA season, they did collect some positives in the contest. Norman Powell looked every bit like the offseason steal we all knew he was. Davion Mitchell and Dru Smith combined for 17 assists and only two turnovers, perhaps forcing us to rethink this club's perceived playmaking problem.
The Miami Heat could prove how much Bam Adebayo means to them with one simple move. It would be a bold decision that revolves around going all-in on Trae Young or Ja Morant over the course of the next 12 months. In many ways, it would be a huge answer to what Bam has long awaited throughout his young career.
