Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
For the Heat, this is a low-risk, high-reward proposition.
We are assuming that Oladipo will never be a star again. If you reject that assumption, fair enough – we respect your optimism.
How about a little optimism for Reddish? If he makes strides, he should do more for this Heat team than Oladipo. A fully realized Cam Reddish would be a 3-and-D wing who also provides a boost of shot creation.
Meanwhile, at 11-14, the Heat aren’t necessarily in a position to make win-now decisions.

In other words, they’re in a perfect situation to take a gamble on a player like Reddish.
