Miami Heat Rumors: Is A Donovan Mitchell Acquisition Inevitable?
Conversely, when you think of Dwyane Wade, you think of the Miami Heat. Miami was and always will be Wade County.
Wade’s tie to the Heat is not only a great relationship, but it can also be used for business. Donovan Mitchell has said that he was a Heat fan (subscription required) when he was young.
He has always admired Wade, even modeling his game after him, creating a linkage between the two before it ever really existed.
Recently though, he has been linked to the Miami Heat too.

I can confirm that if Donovan Mitchell were to ever ask out of Utah, it’s believed Miami would be his first choice and New York a more distant second as preferred destinations according to a league source.
Wouldn’t it be nice if Mitchell could play for the team that one of his idols played for?
If he wants to, Pat Riley and the Miami Heat would surely welcome him with open arms, right? Could Dwyane Wade’s presence in Utah even persuade him to join Miami?
Let’s chat about it all. It’s not as out there as it may initially seem on the surface.
