For the massive community that is the Miami Heat fanbase, the offseason always brings an added level of creativity in terms of potentially upgrading this roster.
Whether it's the crowd that would like to acquire every draft asset possible to play the long game or the people who have no reservations about trading young talent for win-now pieces, we can't be sure that the following trade satisfies either side of that argument. However, we can take a look at what it adds and subtracts for the Heat. The folks over at fadeawayworld.net proposed this four-team trade:
Miami Heat receive: Julius Randle, Miles McBride
Sacramento Kings receive: Kyle Kuzma
New York Knicks receive: Jonas Valanciunas, Corey Kispert, 2027 first-round pick (via Kings) 2028 second-round pick (via Heat), 2031 second-round picks (via Heat)
Washington Wizards receive: Tyler Herro, Kevin Huerter, Devin Carter, Jericho Sims
Let's take a look at how this changes the Heat and impacts their ceiling before grading the proposal.
