Miami Heat
Trade target: Rui Hachimura, Washington Wizards
A recent report suggests that the Miami Heat is one of the most aggressive teams in trade talks. Whether or not that will be sustained up until the NBA Trade Deadline remains to be seen. Though, it’s become clear that the Heat is going to do everything it can to make a move at the deadline.
They need help all over the roster. They could use another point guard, they could definitely use added shooting, and the team still hasn’t successfully replaced P.J. Tucker after he left (somewhat surprising) in free agency.
One player that the Heat should view as a priority is Rui Hachimura. He’s an intriguing power forward option that is still growing as a player and would be an intriguing running mate for Bam Adebayo.
The big question is whether or not the Washington Wizards would want to do business with the Heat.
