Victor Oladipo could help the Miami Heat land another star in 2021

In a hypothetical best-case scenario, there’s a chance that Victor Oladipo helps the Miami Heat recruit another big-name player to sign with the team during the summer of 2021. In this scenario, Oladipo helps the Heat make another deep playoff run in 2021 but still falls short in winning a championship.

Oladipo, Jimmy, and Bam then go on the recruiting trail and try to get one of the big-name free agents – possibly Giannis – to join them in Miami. Of course, a lot depends on how Miami works extensions for both Bam and Oladipo, but if there’s any front office that could make this work, it’s the Heat.

Or, perhaps Oladipo is the piece that this team is missing and he helps put them over the top during the 2021 season. Either way, there is plenty to like about the Miami Heat potentially targeting Victor OIadipo heading into the offseason.

Two big questions, though – does Victor Oladipo and the Indiana Pacers pursue a trade and how interested would the Miami Heat be in making a deal with an in-conference opponent?
