Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
The Heat typically avoid rebuilding. This organization prefers to remain competitive.
This deal allows them to do so. Yes, it’s a downgrade. Still, the Heat would retain a solid roster following this move.
They’d also have one of the best in the NBA. Bane and Jones would be joining Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro to make one of the best young cores in the NBA. Meanwhile, Jones plays a position of need as well.
If there are reservations here, they’ll have to do with the overlap between Herro and Bane. They’re both off-guards.

That’s fine – Herro can operate in a sixth-man role. If that’s an issue, the Heat can consider making another trade.
Perhaps after another postseason run.
