I was bringing Liam now to talk a little about the one in two Miami Heat. So what is our question about the helium?

The question about the heat is how would you handle their wing rotation and how would you handle it once weightage returns, which we have no idea what the timetable is on that.

I'll handle the first part of the big breakout for the heat. In the early part of this season, is Rodney McGooder has been really good so far.

I think you got to give him a lot of minutes. I don't know like 30 or so is what I think for him and Richardson.

McGooder so far 16 points per game, seven rebounds a game, four assists per game, 66 shooting percentage, good defense.

So I think he's a really quality wing that was injured most of last season. You can give them a lot of spacing from the perimeter as well as some defense and Richardson is the guy they've invested in.

Obviously the talk of the Jimmy Butler trade. So he's going to need a lot of minutes. And after that, it gets a little bit dicey right now Wayne Alentons day to day with I think it's an ankle injury.

So he'll be back soon. I think he needs a lot of minutes. Wade, quite frankly, you know, with his defense slipping even another notch so far.

Yeah, I saw you tweeted out. You tweeted out some some film of him just getting completely destroyed and backups. Yeah. I mean, honestly, I was going to mention to you. I think he's probably a candidate.

I don't know if you're going to do the all team. Oh, where's team defense this year article, but he's definitely he's going to be a candidate for that for sure. But what do you think about the wing rotation?

They've got a couple other guys, but I'll talk about a lot of it depends on where they're going to be this year as well.

You know, I think and it's difficult because so many of these guys are sort of one dimensional. I mean, and I guess McGooder, you know, if he's going to shoot as well as he has, which he's not, but you know, if he can become a quality shooter.

And he's a restricted for agent at the end of this year as well. And we'll have a minimum capital that won't matter. They'll be kept out Richard to obviously is a big part of this team and his future assuming he doesn't get moved in a potential Jimmy Butler deal.

But he's got four more years on left and contract or at least three. He's got a player option on that last year that if he continues to be the same guy, he might opt out of.

You know, waiters hard. He's got to be at the bottom of the pecking order, but again, they can really use his skill set though, right? I mean, they don't really have anyone who can get to the basket. That's the same reason why Duane wait is so probably more valuable on this team than any other team.

Because again, you know, Droggech hasn't looked great in the early going so far. And he's really the one guy in this team who could do much off the dribble.
