HEAT's bold moves: Rozier's resurgence, Jaquez trade, and All-Star snubs? Unpacking Miami's season predictions. In this episode of Locked on Heat, Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down their bold 2025 Miami Heat predictions — from potential Tyler Herro trades to Jaime Jaquez Jr. being moved midseason, and even why Bam Adebayo might miss the All-Star Game despite another strong year.
