Why This Trade Would Benefit The Miami Heat
The Miami Heat made it a point to bring back Goran Dragic this season because they needed help at the point guard position. Dragic is a solid starter but the team could use that next-level player.
John Wall is off to a good start this season and could give Miami another dynamic on both ends. He is averaging 18.8 points and 6.0 assists per game this season while being a frequently used pick-and-roll ball handler and isolation option.
The Miami Heat are a team that is used to making big moves and this could be no different. Last season was a bit of a surprise run for Miami and they appear to have fallen off to an extent. The Heat could still look to add a star if they were to make this deal. That could happen at the NBA trade deadline or the offseason.
There is little point in the Houston Rockets keeping John Wall after he has restored his trade value. The team will need to undergo a long-term rebuild to achieve much success in the Western Conference and a contender like the Miami Heat could be enticed into trading for him.
