The Miami Heat have moves to make during the NBA All-Star break, as they look to make a strong push during the second half of the season into the NBA postseason. Now, while there are a few names out there, the reports indicate that the Miami Heat prefer to address their big man rotation rather than address anything else at this particular time.

And a name like Kevin Love could certainly come in and help the Heat immediately.

If he isn’t to be had by Miami, then Serge Ibaka, another name that has been linked to Miami, is certainly worth a look as well.

However, another name has been linked to the Heat and a name that is also associated with both of those big men in some fashion, having spent professional time with the Ibaka in Oklahoma City and collegiate time at UCLA with Love—Russell Westbrook, is still out there as well.

And for all of the dull moments across his past couple of seasons, along with the interest by some other teams, the Miami Heat should absolutely still have interest in Westbrook, and here is why.
