Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
Meanwhile, the Heat have simpler intentions here. They’re acquiring the best player in this trade.
He also ought to suit their offense more. The Heat prefer to slow the game down and contain it to the halfcourt. That happens to be Russell’s specialty.
He’ll thrive by finding Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro in their spots. Meanwhile, he should enjoy instant pick-and-roll chemistry with Bam Adebayo. All things considered, he should be a better fit than Lowry for this team.
The Heat shouldn’t mind sending a first-round pick with lottery protection out, either. They’ve got no intention of landing in the lottery, and a late first is a small price to pay if you’re upgrading a contender.
