NBA Trade Rumors: Exploring three all-in offers the Miami Heat should be prepared to make for Donovan Mitchell at the trade deadline.
Despite several deep playoff runs in the last four seasons, two of which that led to the NBA Finals, the Miami Heat remains one big piece away from realistically winning a championship with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Jimmy isn't getting any younger and the window for the Heat to win with this core is shrinking by the day.
That's why when Miami missed on Damian Lillard during the offseason, it was viewed as such a massive misstep. However, a few months later, the Heat may get another shot at landing a superstar. It's not a certainty, but there is growing evidence that suggests Donovan Mitchell is going to find his way to the trade block sometime soon. It could even happen as soon as this year's NBA Trade Deadline.
And if that does happen, there will certainly be plenty of suitors for the All-Star guard. In addition to the Heat, the likes of the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets, and potentially others, are expected to be in pursuit of Mitchell.
