Miami Heat Receive: Brad Wanamaker, 2022 Second-Round Pick (via MIA)

Indiana Pacers Receive: KZ Okpala

The Miami Heat would land both Brad Wanamaker and regain their own 2023 second round pick.

The Pacers may not be as willing to part with a guard on their bench right now when considering TJ McConnell is sidelined indefinitely.

If the Pacers were willing to part with Wanamaker, there wouldn’t be a need to receive substantial value for him considering he’s typically a third string guard.

Indiana could always look to acquire a different guard to add to their depth if Wanamaker were to be dealt.
