10:41 PM Jul 23, 2026Gina Ferazzi/Getty ImagesIf prediction markets are to be trusted, the Miami Heat remain in the lead to secure LeBron James' talents (though they've lost some ground today). And if that is indeed where he winds up, there are very real concerns about how he'd fit alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. But for Giannis and Bam (and maybe even Davion Mitchell), playmaking doesn't necessarily translate to lead playmaker. On the other end, LeBron obviously isn't the same defender he once was (same goes for Giannis), but he at least brings length. And in combination with Giannis, Bam, Mitchell and Andrew Wiggins, the Heat will be able to cover a lot of ground and shut down a lot of passing and driving lanes.
