Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal 

On the other hand, the Heat do this deal for a simple reason – to improve ahead of 2022-23. 

Yes, Kristaps Porzingis is known to get hurt. Moving two first-rounders to land him is a gamble. Still, with a 34-year-old Jimmy Butler on the roster, the Heat can’t afford to get squeamish. They need to get better, and they need to do it now. 

Landing Porzingis, if he stays healthy, should do that. Granted, the Heat already have a starting center in Bam Adebayo, but many think that, at 6’9, he’d be more optimized at the 4. Even if you disagree, you should be able to concede that he’ll be capable of playing the position. 

Moreover, he’s a natural fit next to Porzingis. After all, Porzingis is the more natural rim protector, but he can’t really defend in space. Luckily, the highly versatile Adebayo can cover for him in that regard.
