Following the trade, longtime Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson revealed his thoughts on the trade and told fans not the sleep on the Portis angle of the trade.
"People are going to talk about Giannis Antetokounmpo, and they should because he and Nikola Jokic are the two best players in the league, but don’t sleep on how important the Heat getting Bobby Portis is," Johnson said on social media. "Bobby’s ability to shoot from the 3-point line and his toughness, he will be a major part of the Heat success!"
Portis finished second in the league behind Lakers guard Luke Kennard by shooting 45.6% from beyond the arc during the 2025-26 season.
The Heat went 43-39 last season and finished 10th in the East. They lost in the 9-10 play-in game to the Charlotte Hornets, missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2018-19 season.
