Q: Too dangerous Tom Brady isn’t on the Dolphins this season to affix Udonis Haslem in bringing the fountain of youth to Miami. UD stated that is his final yr. Who will get the torch? — Stuart, Miami.
A: The twist there’s that Bam Adebayo repeatedly has stated that he needs to be the franchise’s subsequent Heat lifer. That, after all, means maintaining him off the commerce desk. But aside from Adebayo, with all due respect to Tyler Herro, it doesn’t seem as if the Heat have one other such rising chief. As it’s, Jimmy Butler would appear to be the inheritor obvious to Udonis Haslem’s captaincy. But Jimmy is also about to show 33, and I doubt he has Haslem-like plans to play to 42.
Q: Great to listen to that Udonis Haslem (Mr. 305) is coming again for his twentieth season. In my opinion, UD epitomizes the true that means of Heat Culture. – Greg, Jacksonville.
A: Actually, that considerably sells Udonis Haslem quick. He epitomizes professionalism, of which there could also be no increased praise for an athlete.
Q: One factor I observed about this yr’s schedule for the Heat is that they have a couple of baseball-like collection, with consecutive video games towards the identical groups. I really feel like whereas it actually alleviates a few of the journey for groups, it does boring out these video games and create a fatigue or lack of curiosity from followers in these video games. That and it’s actually onerous to win each these video games irrespective of who you play. – Aaron, Miami.
A: I, too, am not an enormous fan from a fan’s perspective, however as I wrote in my Sunday column, if the diminished journey makes the league’s stars accessible extra usually, and due to this fact much less prone to apply load administration, then it would show to be an appropriate tradeoff. But, sure, enjoying the Hornets in consecutive residence video games shouldn’t be optimum.
