Making the Case: Miami Heat
As for the Miami Heat, they are a win-now team and should not be looking to rebuild. It is evident with the team’s needs, and they could be looking to fill a hole and shooting guard.
Last offseason, Miami addressed the point guard position by bringing in Kyle Lowry. Now, they can do the same at the three spot on the floor.
Barnes can defend multiple positions and can score from anywhere on the floor. He has experience in the postseason and would not be afraid of the big moment. They should benefit from that, given their goals moving forward.
Barnes also brings more leadership to the locker room, which never hurts on a team with championship aspirations. However, his shooting and shot creation would add needed dimensions to the half-court offense without sacrificing size on the wing.

If the Heat can add a player like Barnes and unload Robinson’s contract, it seems like a win in all areas.
