在11月4日的报道中，24直播网透露，据热火记者Ira Winderman在104.3 WQAM电台的访谈中透露，球队更衣室内迫切需要一位能够站出来担任领导角色的球员。
Ira Winderman commented, "Had it been Haslem, with the team's current 2 wins and 5 losses, he would have undoubtedly shattered several vending machines by now. Adesanya is a gentleman, yet the squad requires someone with the intensity of a wild beast—every team needs such a figure. Giannis Antetokounmpo is known for his gentle demeanor, while Pistorius is still too green to fill this role of a troublemaker. Perhaps Spoelstra is contemplating taking on the role of this 'bad boy' himself."
