Miami Heat: Why making trades will be nearly impossible this season
By Jack Simone
Why the Miami Heat can’t make trades this season: No tradable players
While this statement isn’t technically true, it is true in theory. Obviously, any player can be traded, but the Miami Heat don’t really have any players they should be willing to trade.
On top of that, the players that they would be willing to trade don’t really have any trade value. It’s a very tricky situation to be in, and a difficult one to explain.
For example, Tyler Herro is obviously a great trade chip, but the Heat might not be willing to trade him. On the flip side, the Heat would likely be willing to trade Markieff Morris, but he doesn’t have a ton of value.
The idea of trading Herro has been thrown around for the entire offseason. Most Heat fans want to see him stay in South Beach, but realistically, he’s the best trade asset they have to work with.
That’s not to say that they should trade him, it’s just to show the difficult situation they are in. The idea of trading Omer Yurtseven falls under the same category as the idea of trading Herro.
All of the players the Miami Heat could trade that have any value are too important to their team. This is because most of their young assets play such a big role on their team.

Their best bet would probably be to explore the trade market for KZ Okpala, Gabe Vincent, or Max Strus. Regardless, their lack of tradable assets puts them in a very tough situation.
