  • David Ramil: David says Richards' roster fate depends on how strongly Spoelstra rates Vladislav Goldin and how much center depth he wants. He also asks whether Spoelstra still sees Jovic as an occasional big if Giannis misses time. at 27:24
  • David Ramil: David would keep Richards and, if it were up to him, would put Richards above Vladislav Goldin on the depth chart. He thinks Goldin is still too raw, despite shining in the previous preseason game. at 27:43
  • Wes Goldberg: Citing 'my intel', Wes doesn't think the team sees Vladislav Goldin as ready yet. He thinks they want him to keep developing on a two-way deal, which makes Richards the de facto backup center. at 30:24

  • Vladislav Goldin played 23 minutes off the bench, his longest run of the preseason, with two offensive rebounds. With about 15 seconds left, his offensive rebound and putback tied the game. at 28:09
  • Erik Spoelstra (reported): Host says Spoelstra seemed pretty encouraged by Vladislav Goldin's progress since last season. This is the host's characterization, not a quote. at 28:36
  • Goldin made one three-pointer on two attempts, showing a slightly expanded game. at 28:47
  • Goldin is on a two-way contract. The host thinks his spot is more in question than Richards's, because waiving Richards would still require signing someone for the 14th roster spot. at 28:59
  • Host says the Heat have already churned through some training camp and two-way deals. He wasn't sure Goldin would last, but thinks Saturday helped his case. at 29:16
  • David Ramil: David speculates the Heat might be comfortable with Goldin as their third center behind Nico and Giannis/Bam, then corrects himself that Bobby Portis probably comes first. He suggests they might not need both Goldin and Richards. at 29:49
  • Host thinks the odds are the Heat keep both Goldin and Richards. He adds that Goldin's two-way deal makes him easier to swap out, while Richards may be more proven. at 30:29
  • Wes doesn't think the Heat have decided on either Goldin or Richards. He says Saturday night helped both of their cases. at 30:51
