Miami Heat trade target #1: Montrezl Harrell & Kyle Kuzma

Adding Montrezl Harrell and Kyle Kuzma to the roster would greatly improve depth. Both are quality players who can come in and contribute for the Miami Heat.

Last season, Kuzma averaged 12.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists while shooting 44.3% from the field and 36.1% from deep. Meanwhile, Harrell averaged 13.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists while shooting 62.2% from the field.

The Los Angeles Lakers are supposedly trying to trade Kuzma this offseason. As for Harrell, he barely received any playing time in the playoffs for LA.

Kuzma could come in and start at power forward for the Heat, while Harrell backs up Bam Adebayo at the five. They would fit in perfectly with the current lineup.

As for the Lakers, they will be desperate for guard depth this summer. Nunn would certainly help in that department.

Dennis Schroder is looking for a massive contract this offseason, and the Lakers would likely have to pay him if they wanted to have any sort of depth at the guard position. This trade would allow them to let Schroder walk.

The Miami Heat would add depth while the Lakers get their new starting point guard. That seems like a win-win for both sides of the deal.
