Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
The Heat are landing the best player in this deal. Generally, that’s all the justification a team needs to make any trade in the NBA.
Brown is also a good fit with this Heat team. In all likelihood, he’d play the off-guard spot alongside Jimmy Butler at the 3. That tandem would give the Heat one of the best two-way wing duos in the NBA.
Having the defensively dominant Bam Adebayo in the middle won’t hurt either. All told, that trio ought to be poised to contend for the title. Meanwhile, an upgraded Heat team ought to put fear in the hearts of opposing NBA teams.
After all, this group was a game away from the NBA Finals in 2021-22. They won more games than any team in the Eastern Conference. They were already excellent, and swapping Herro for Brown should only serve to make them stronger.
