NBA Trade Rumors: 12 surprising moves that would shake up the trade deadline

The Miami Heat trade Kyle Lowry

After somewhat of a disappointing first half of the season, the Miami Heat is going to try to make a big move at the NBA Trade Deadline. I don’t really see how they can pull one off but if they do indeed do so, it will likely have to include one of their big-money players. Out of all of them, the most likely scenario involves the team trading Kyle Lowry.

And if the Heat were to trade Lowry, it could end up being the biggest move of that trade deadline. Though, if the Heat is successful in trading Lowry, you’d have to imagine that it will likely also cost the team a future first-round pick. Quite frankly, I’m not sure that’s something the Heat will be open to.

Miami acquired Lowry a couple of offseasons ago in hopes that he could help them win a championship alongside Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler. It simply hasn’t worked out and it would probably be in the best interest of both sides if they found a resolution to part ways.
