Miami Heat – Get healthy and don’t overpay for an additional player

The Miami Heat are 20-13 despite Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo missing over 10 games each due to injury. Kyle Lowry has fully engulfed himself in Heat culture by playing 34 minutes and being a true point guard this team needed.

The Heat should look to stay pat and get healthy to make a run in the postseason. One player that needs to improve is Duncan Robinson, who is shooting over eight threes a game and only converting 33 percent of those attempts.  Right now they don’t need to make a move they just need to get fit and find their form.

Cleveland Cavaliers- Figure out if they want to pay Collin Sexton

The Cleveland Cavaliers are one of the biggest surprises almost halfway through this season. What is even more impressive is they are doing this without Collin Sexton, who they lost to injury. There were rumors before his injury that Sexton and the Cavs were far apart on a contract price.

If that is true, perhaps the Cavs should look to trade Sexton now to get some value for potentially a distressed asset.
