3 Miami Heat Trades You Won’t Love But Could Help – Shooting For The Moon
The Houston Rockets are loading up on picks and clearly building for the future around top talent. The squad in Texas was perfectly fine watching John Wall sit on the bench to find out what it has in players like Jalen Green.
Trade Two: Miami Heat Receive Kevin Porter Jr. And Eric Gordon And Houston Receives Kyle Lowry And 2022 First Round Pick
Shipping out heavy shot takers like KPJ and Gordon will only allow young talent more space.
Adding a player like Lowry will help move the ball more and turns Houston into the Oklahoma City Thunder 2.0.
That’s a waylay station for older talent to recoup while picking up more draft picks. For the Heat, it offers two low-risk and high reward prospects in place of one.
Gordon is a proven scorer who could still have gas in the tank for one more run on a two-year deal. Porter Jr. is on his player option, which means if he is a bust, it is a one-year mistake on the cheap.
But the upside is a lethal scorer. It could be worth the risk, well worth it.
