Miami Heat: Offseason Movement Still Leaves Much To Wonder About
Wrong. All wrong.
Let’s put this on the board too. There is absolutely no reason this team should be running it back.
This isn’t to say that they should have blown up the roster or made a move just to make it, but seriously, zero free agents? Then, no trades?
The Kevin Durant situation is one thing Riley can get a pass for because it seemed as if Brooklyn was never taking Durant’s request seriously. They knew they had the leverage and also knew that he was going nowhere.
That is one thing but the Donovan Mitchell scenario seems different.

When a star becomes available, you move mountains that can’t be moved.
You do what it takes to get that guy on your roster. You do what you can and if the answer is “no”, you regroup and try again until you get the answer “yes”.
Even if you can’t get “yes”, you go down swinging. The Heat never, seemingly, even stepped up to the batter’s box.
Miami showed little to no interest in Mitchell, who is a clear upgrade from Tyler Herro, and exactly what this team needs. He’s a shot maker to help out Jimmy Butler and a playmaker to feed Bam Adebayo.
Even if you have to send an enormous amount of picks and a couple of players, you do it. He’s tight with both Butler and Adebayo, making it a perfect fit—among everything else mentioned.
