Former NBA champion says Heat must get $347M future Hall of Famer, 9x All-Star to win Finals
The Miami Heat have championship aspirations this season. However, a former NBA champion doesn't believe it will happen unless they get this guy.
Former NBA champion Brendan Haywood contends that the Miami Heat must acquire $347 million future Hall of Famer Kyrie Irving to have a shot at winning the Finals. The Heat, who missed the playoffs last season, have made significant moves this summer, including the blockbuster trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. With Antetokounmpo and Tyler Herro joining the roster, the Heat appear to be becoming a legitimate championship contender.
However, Haywood believes they still need to add a "closer" to their lineup to truly contend for the title. He specifically mentions Kyrie Irving, who has already amassed $347 million in his career earnings. If the Dallas Mavericks' season begins poorly, Irving could become a trade possibility for the Heat.
