Miami Heat: Hayward Helps Fill Hole, But Can’t Account For Projected Package

After all that, they would still reportedly have to add a pick and a talented young big that, though needs to work on his defense, still has a lot to like about him in Omer Yurtseven? That doesn’t make sense.

It’s too much to give up for a guy that doesn’t make you a surefire contender after you move what it takes to land him. If it were just one of Robinson or Herro, picks, and perhaps Yurtseven, it makes it look better but you still don’t know.

In essence, you are pretty certain Hayward can fill the void left by P.J. and give you more from an offensive perspective. But can he do that and account for what they could potentially be losing in Herro, Robinson, and Yurtseven?

That’s the question. And the safe answer is no.

That’s why, though it wouldn’t be a terrible move, it’s not the best one for the Miami Heat either.
