Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal 

Parting with Jovic will undeniably sting. The Heat appear to have made a smart decision in drafting him, and he hasn’t even played a regular-season game for them yet. 

Meanwhile, losing Dedmon counts too. He’s a quality reserve big man in this league. With all of that being said, Tate brings enough to the table to make up for the loss of both of them. 

Any discussion about Tate has to start with his defense. He’s developed into a versatile defender who can guard 1 through 4. On that basis, he’s a perfect replacement for the departed P.J. Tucker. 

Of course, he’s not a perfect replacement. If Tate was a shooter on Tucker’s level, the Rockets wouldn’t entertain this deal.
