Jabari Parker, Chicago Bulls

While Miami has had their own internal battles over lineups and drama surrounding Dion Waiters, there has not been a more openly dramatic situation than the Chicago Bulls during the regular season this year.

Specifically, Jabari Parker has been a headache for Chicago since he signed his $20 million contract this past summer. The Bulls and their new Head Coach Jim Boylen look to have given up on the 23-year-old because of his attitude toward the direction of the franchise. And while the Bulls have quite a few solid young assets, Parker seems to be angrier in the direction that Chicago is going in terms of coaching.

So to lose the political correctness, Parker thinks Boylen is a horrible coach.

The problem for Parker is, Chicago does not feel the same way after extending Boylen only a month after benching Parker for not following team guidelines at practice. Even though Parker has been a negative player this year, he still has a ton of potential to be a good role player/starter, but unfortunately has been given up on because of his lack of defense.

Parker in a Heat jersey is not exactly what Miami needs, as they already have a few different players in that position, but they could simply do a swap of a big man with a hefty contract for Parker, and there are too many trade ideas to count considering the amount of high-contract players that Miami has.
