Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
Before we justify this deal for either side, we need to establish some parameters.
Firstly, this is a pretty marginal deal. Both sides are probably making lateral moves. They’re mostly hoping that a shakeup will lead to a little more success.
With that said, Jackson is probably more impactful than Lowry right now. Meanwhile, Martin is more impactful than Morris.
This deal has the Heat deciding that they need an upgrade at point guard more than anything.

This upgrade ought to help. Jackson is a strong drive-and-kick guard who can finish strong inside. He also provides decent floor spacing. He’d be a good acquisition for this Heat team.
Should the Clippers give him up?
