After an exciting 53-29 season that saw them get to within one win of its second NBA Finals appearance in three seasons, the Heat appear set to make some adjustments during the summer to get over the hump. Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel notes that the Heat rarely leave a stone unturned in the free agency and trade markets, and that the team could pursue adding All-Star talents like guards Donovan Mitchell and Bradley Beal if they become available.
There’s more out of the Southeast Division:
- The Magic worked out Memphis guard Lester Quinones over the weekend, according to Jake Weingarten of StockRisers.com (Twitter link). Quinones played for three seasons with the Tigers, averaging 10.1 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 1.8 APG and 0.9 SPG across 87 games, including 81 starts. The Magic possess the top pick in the 2022 draft, as well as the No. 32 and No. 35 selections in the second round.
- The Wizards are set to work out several young hopefuls tomorrow ahead of the draft, per Ava Wallace of the Washington Post (Twitter link). Wallace notes that Vanderbilt guard Scotty Pippen Jr., LSU forward Tari Eason, Baylor guard James Akinjo, and Connecticut guard R.J. Cole will be working out for Washington. The Wizards possess the No. 10 and No. 56 picks in the upcoming 2022 NBA draft. Eason is the highest-ranked prospect among these four, coming in at No. 18 on ESPN’s big board.
- In case you missed it, we took a look at the Hawks‘ 2022 offseason, examining the personnel that could be on the move, both among players under contract for the 2022/23 season and free agents.
nba draft
Rockets would like to trade up from #17 to #4.
They want Jaden Ivey
My better idea would be
Trade #3 to Magic for #1, then pick Jabari Smith
Houston has #3, if they want Ivey pick him at 3.
Beal max is $235 million
Heat are likely to acquire Lavine, Donovan Mitchell or Bradley Beal.
Beat the Knicks offer for Mitchell
Beat the Lakers offer for LaVine
Beat the 76ers offer for Beal.
Beal is not going anywhere.
Totally agree with silly on Mitchell and Levine,part ways on beal. Big if wiz move him Sixers would move mad max in deal according to people who should know.
The owner will not sign off on Beal leaving. He likes stars. He paid Ovie for his entire NHL career. The only way Beal goes somewhere is is if he asks to be traded and it won’t be to Phila or Miami.
As a Heat fan, no thanks, I’m good…doesnt make any sense for them, unless the roster is drastically different. No need to give up assets for those types of things, when the area of need isnt even with that
As bulls fan,i really love butler.i hope he can get the ring.heat need another two way player like butler.they dont need zach or beal. Maybe they can try to get brandon ingram,butler back to his natural post as sg,bi as sf.bi is better defender than zach or beal.or maybe harison barnes.my dream is heat get jaylen brown,but celtic wont let him go.bam need help in the paint.mo bamba maybe.
I just dont see how they could get Harrison Barnes though
