NBA Trade Rumors: As we start over, we project five elite players that the Miami Heat may consider acquiring this summer.
The Miami Heat will probably have some questions that will define their future going into the offseason given the way things have been going for them lately. The Boston Celtics will probably blow them out of the NBA Playoffs in the first round.
There are rumors circulating that the Heat may decide to pursue an All-Star player in the offseason who fits Bam Adebayo’s schedule. The Heat may have a lot of interesting targets this summer if that turns out to be the case. Based on that source, we project that the Heat will be “in the mix” for five elite players this offseason.
Honorable mention: Chicago Bulls’ Zach LaVine
Zach LaVine has turned 29 years old, so it’s possible that the Miami Heat are prepared to take a significant risk on him. Observing how the team suffered last summer as a result of not taking a chance on Bradley Beal, maybe there will be a change of approach for the Heat’s front office heading into the offseason.
I find it hard to understand why the Heat wouldn’t want to seize the chance to acquire LaVine from Miami for Tyler Herro, one of their young players, and no future first-round picks. particularly if the Heat thinks it can actually maximize the potential of each player in their scheme. LaVine has been a productive player throughout his career, despite the recent blow to his reputation.
It’s evident that LaVine was not the Chicago Bulls’ best option. However, LaVine might be a No. 2 or 3 pick in Miami. Perhaps this is the kind of transaction that could work out well for both clubs if the Heat are prepared to trade Herro for LaVine.
