Miami Heat trade target: Victor Oladipo

The Miami Heat may be having a rough start to their season, but they’re still defending Eastern Conference champions until they are dethroned. And they’ve actually been playing better as of late, so I don’t feel as guilty including them in this piece.

One potential trade target for this team that I continue to shout from the rooftops is Victor Oladipo. I know he will be a costly one and the team would have to part ways with a strong asset or two, but I just can’t get over the feeling that he’s the ideal fit that this team needs.

Oladipo is a dynamic offensive player that you get the ball in the basket when a team needs it and is a good defender that would fit the DNA of this team. He’d be a good third option next to Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo.
