Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
The Heat do the deal to get better. Simple.
Largely, they’re taking a leap of faith here. The Heat have plenty of talent. By making this deal, they’re assuming they can still win lots of games this season.
Adding Bey ought to help them do so. Yes, his shooting is inconsistent. He’s still a big, athletic wing who plays quality defence and can create his own shot. Bey may be young, but he’s ready to help a contender.
If he’s not enough for the Heat, it’s not a doomsday scenario, either. After all, this pick is lottery protected. If it doesn’t convey, the Heat flipped Jovic for Bey. That’s roughly a lateral move.
