The focus was on the pursuit of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan (the latter first reported Sunday by Five Reasons Sports), but many other topics were covered.

Warning: it's a looser than usual episode.

Miami Heat: Do Fans Overvalue, or Undervalue, Their Own?

A more philosophical debate in today's episode:

Last season, Heat fans were accused of overvaluing the likes of Tyler Herro and KZ Okpala and Precious Achiuwa when it came to trade conversations.

Now, though, it seems they may be undervaluing Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn compared to how fans of other teams see them.

Do most Heat fans overvalue or undervalue their own?

Ariel Attias (Full Court Press) joins Ethan, Greg and Alex.
