Miami Heat Trade Market Targets From Houston- Victor Oladipo

Look, we know that we mentioned earlier how it was unlikely that the Miami Heat would still pursue a guy that they wanted if he had been traded already this year, however, there are exceptions.

This next guy might be that exception. With rumors that he still wants Miami, it seems inevitable.

1. Victor Oladipo

The Miami Heat could really use another impact guy. It would be that much sweeter if he was a guy capable of getting it done off the bounce.

We hate to keep adding stuff, but it would be the ultimate cherry on top if he were also a two-way guy. Well, what do you know, that sounds like Victor Oladipo.

Again, rumored to still want to be in Miami, that’s why Indiana moved him. Though their thoughts might not specifically have been focused on Miami, they knew that he didn’t want to be there anymore, so they moved him.

Will the Rockets risk losing him for nothing? With the way that their season looks to be going, they may deem this one a lost cause and move him then.

Who knows? Either way, Pat Riley should be on the horn and at the front of the line for his services.

The Miami Heat have a few ways to get better. Though all of them aren’t via the trade market, that’s a great way to get much better quickly.

We shall see what happens, but I wouldn’t for a second doubt that Pat Riley would make a move. It may happen sooner than later.
