Explore Blockbuster Trade Market (Cautiously)

Again, the Miami Heat don’t need to do anything earth-shattering this summer. They could stay the course and bank on some internal improvement and better luck. With that said, the right offer could tempt them to make a bigger move.

Furthermore, they might have the pieces to do it. The Heat have the prerequisite package of an expensive player to match contracts in Lowry and a young star on his rookie deal in Herro. They’re a little light on draft capital, but they may only need to attach a couple of picks to a package centered around Herro to land a star.

They probably don’t have the ammunition to land Kevin Durant. Given the Nets’ rumored asking price, hardly anyone will. Could Herro and a couple of first-rounders get them in the door for Donovan Mitchell

It’s hard to say. It’s also hard to say what other offers could end up on the table. Often, rumors long precede blockbuster trades. On the other hand, sometimes they come entirely out of left field.
