The Heat confirmed the decision to keep Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry in Miami as they delivered their current roster ahead to the NBA trade deadline in 2024.
The Miami Heat are, well, in the heat of trade rumors all the time. Many believe the Heat will be significant players in trade season as the February deadline approaches.
Miami was embroiled in a protracted pursuit of Damian Lillard during the summer after losing in the 2023 NBA Finals. The Heat were considered a possible destination for Jrue Holiday, who was originally traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Damian Lillard, after the Bucks defeated them. Holiday was ultimately acquired by the Boston Celtics, so the Heat were left without either of those two stars.
Given that it was unable to make any major improvements to boost its chances of finally breaking through and winning its first championship in more than ten years, many people considered Miami’s offseason to be a huge letdown. But even though the Heat have had numerous injuries this season, the 2023–24 campaign has started off well for them. With a 19–12 record, they are presently ranked in the top four of the Eastern Conference.
According to the rumors, the Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine and the Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell are two disgruntled players that the Heat are once again in the running for before the deadline. Still, the trade chatter around Miami appears to be a little more subdued.
Nevertheless, when 2024 rolls around, the Heat ought to be brought up again. Pat Riley is not the type to stand idly by. For the upcoming few months, Miami should still be worth keeping an eye on.
Having said that, here are some forecasts for the Miami Heat in advance of the NBA trade deadline in 2024.
As previously stated, whenever a star surfaced in the trade rumors, Miami always seemed to be in the mix. NBA fans will hear the Heat mentioned as a possible addition to Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler. Miami, though, isn’t likely to trade for a household name. The Heat appear to be certain that their current lineup will be sufficient to carry them to victory.
In an article published by Joe Vardon of The Athletic, Tyler Herro said he was confident in the team they currently have.
