After missing out on Damian Lillard, the Miami Heat are now interested in veteran guard Jrue Holiday.
Following their postseason sweep by the Miami Heat, the Milwaukee Bucks appeared to be their top target. After the Bucks grabbed Miami’s #1 target, Damian Lillard, the Heat may now be looking to get retribution.
And Jrue Holiday, the All-Star point guard, is the ideal person to assist them in their mission.
Holiday was part of the three-team transaction that sent Lillard to the Bucks and including the Phoenix Suns. Holiday declared he wanted to play his entire career in Milwaukee the day before he was dealt.
Holiday could re-group in Miami, who is arguably a star player away from being championship contenders.
Even putting narratives aside, the Heat would be an ideal team for Holiday. They currently have Josh Richardson and Tyler Herro in the starting backcourt, who are both shooting guards. Holiday would give Miami a true point guard who can facilitate, score and defend. His defense fits the Heat’s play style, and his offensive production could help Jimmy Butler in the postseason.
Make it happen, Miami. If another off-season goes by without any major transactions, the fans’ impatience will only grow.
Holiday told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “I think I stated I’m a Buck for life before I even won here, and I mean that like deep in my heart. “I’m not interested in playing for any other team. I want to be in Milwaukee because I believe the Bucks team and organization have a chance to keep doing great things.
