Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal 

When we say the Knicks have been surprisingly competitive, what we really mean is this: we are surprised that the Heat are below them. 

It’s been a rough year for Miami. They’re too talented to rush to blow this group up, but if things don’t change soon, they may need to take drastic measures. 

After all, Butler is 34, and not getting any younger. With that in mind, this is a solid return for him. Three first-round picks and an intriguing young player may be the going rate for a star in Butler’s age bracket. 

In fact, Quickley could be an especially intriguing addition to this Heat club. He’d form one of the most exciting young backcourts in the NBA alongside Tyler Herro.

With Bam Adebayo in the middle, the Heat will have a head start on a rebuild. 

Hopefully, their next group wins a title before they feel that they should call their time together off.
