Asked about Terance Mann and all the things swirling around his name on social media with the Harden trade talk, Ty Lue said it’s good to ignore everything but added it’s even better than Mann is wanted by teams, especially by Clips. “We love TMann and TMann is going to be here.” – 8:35 PM

Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
My stance is that the Heat should trade for James Harden. It just makes too much sense.
I wrote this column three weeks ago and I agree with myself even more now.
