3 trade targets the Miami Heat must pursue this offseason

If you would’ve told me at the start of the postseason that the Miami Heat would be the first team eliminated in the 2020-2021 NBA playoffs, I would’ve laughed at you. However, Miami would be the first team sent packing after the Milwaukee Bucks made quick work of them by defeating them in four games. The Heat were the only team to be swept in the first round.

Seeing Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo exert all of their energy for the second straight season with no consistent help showed Pat Riley that the roster needs some tweaking this offseason.
