Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal

Any NBA trade is easier to justify from the point of view of the team getting the best player in the deal.

In this case, that’s distinctly the Heat. As a contending squad, they’d be thrilled to add Collins to the roster ahead of 2022-23.

In fact, Collins profiles as a perfect frontcourt partner for Bam Adebayo. He’s a solid defender, albeit an unexceptional one. Adebayo covers for any shortcomings he may have on either the perimeter or the interior. Meanwhile, Collins’ high-end floor spacing makes up for Adebayo’s inability to shoot.

They also have complementary strengths. Together, they’d make up one of the most athletic frontcourt duos in the NBA. John Collins could be exactly the upgrade this Heat team needs.
