The Miami Heat still have one roster spot available — but the latest reporting suggests the Gabe Vincent reunion Heat fans have been discussing may not happen after all.

So what exactly is Pat Riley waiting for?

On today's Battered Heat Fans, we break down the latest Gabe Vincent update and discuss whether Miami should intentionally keep its final roster spot open rather than forcing another signing before training camp.

We'll also separate fact from fiction surrounding the Kyrie Irving-to-Miami chatter. Dallas currently intends to keep Kyrie, but could his situation change before the NBA trade deadline — and if it did, would Miami have the pieces to make another blockbuster happen?

Plus, after having a full week to digest the Klay Thompson signing, we'll reassess the entire Heat roster around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo, celebrate Bam's 83-point masterpiece winning NBA Performance of the Year and discuss another former Heat guard attempting an NBA comeback.

And finally…

VICE WAVE IS BACK.

The iconic blue Miami Vice look is returning this season — and we're about to see Giannis, Klay and this completely rebuilt Heat roster wearing it.

Klay Thompson has officially arrived in Miami, and he already has huge expectations for his new team.

During his introductory press conference with Erik Spoelstra, Klay talked about why he chose the Miami Heat, his excitement about playing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo, and why he believes this roster has “limitless” potential.

On today’s Battered Heat Fans, we react to Klay’s first comments as a member of the Heat and ask the question that matters now: Is Miami actually good enough to win an NBA championship?

We’ll break down how Klay fits alongside Giannis and Bam, what Erik Spoelstra could do with this new-look rotation, whether Miami has enough shooting and shot creation, and what the Heat may still need before training camp.

We’ll also discuss where Miami belongs in the Eastern Conference hierarchy and what realistic expectations should be for a roster built to win right now.

Klay came to Miami to compete for another championship.

Does this Heat team have enough to get him one?

The Miami Heat's pursuit of Klay Thompson appears to have finally paid off.

Dallas has officially bought out Thompson's contract, and the future Hall of Fame shooter is expected to sign with Miami after clearing waivers. Now the conversation changes.

On today's Battered Heat Fans, we're asking where a core of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Davion Mitchell ranks in a loaded Eastern Conference.

Are the Heat now good enough to win the East? Did Miami make the right decision waiting for Klay instead of pursuing DeMar DeRozan, who is heading to Denver? And even after adding one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, does Pat Riley still need another scorer, point guard or backup center before training camp?

We'll also discuss Nick Richards working out in Miami, Vin Baker joining Erik Spoelstra's coaching staff and reuniting with Giannis, and how Cleveland's latest moves affect the Eastern Conference race.

The Heat got their shooter.

Now the question is whether they have a championship roster.
