Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
Actually, the fit between Covington and the Heat feels natural in a number of ways.
Firstly, the Heat are renowned for attracting players with an elite work ethic. Covington qualifies. You don’t get this far as an undrafted rookie if you’re not willing to get your hands dirty.
Secondly, the Heat have a hole in their rotation at the 4. Covington could plug right in.
They need him a lot more than the Clippers do. Acquiring Morris Sr. doesn’t hurt either.
