Tim Connelly joined the broadcasting team for a couple minutes during the second quarter and provided good insight on what direction the team is going and how they handled the offseason. He explained some about free agency this year in targeting Dwyane Wade and some about saving money for next year and not being pressured into spending money to reach the salary cap floor, as the money to reach the floor is just spread out to the current players on the roster.
Connelly continued to talk about the offseason, stating they took the best player available in the draft and not for need.
