The Eastern Conference Finals are here, and for Miami Heat fans, Knicks vs. Cavaliers might be the worst-case scenario. Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down why Heat fans may need to root for the Knicks, how a Cavs Finals run could impact Donovan Mitchell’s future, and why a Knicks loss could push New York deeper into the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes.

Then, Udonis Haslem calls out Anthony Edwards after Ant walked to the Spurs bench during Minnesota’s blowout elimination loss. Was Haslem right, or is the criticism missing context?

Plus, Wes and David open the Locked On Heat mailbag to answer offseason questions: should the Heat trade Bam Adebayo instead of Tyler Herro? Is Kawhi Leonard a better target than Giannis if it also opens the door for Ja Morant? And could the Detroit Pistons be a trade partner for Miami this summer?
