Miami Heat Could Acquire $212 Million Superstar This Summer

Guía 2019-2020: Miami Heat | Sporting News Mexico
It has become pretty clear that the Miami Heat are nowhere near up to the mark since the Jimmy Butler trade to the Golden State Warriors. Currently, they are on a seven-game losing streak and find themselves in ninth in the East.

They are just one win better than the Chicago Bulls, who are in the middle of a rebuild and have parted with key players like DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso over the past year.

The Heat acquired Andrew Wiggins as part of the Butler trade. While the Warriors have improved tremendously since then, the same cannot be said about the team from Miami.

On an individual level, Wiggins has been performing well. That has not contributed to wins though. Could it be time to trade him in the summer once again?

Another player who could be on the move in the summer is Paul George. The Philadelphia 76ers signed him to a four-year, $212 million contract but so far, his stint with the Sixers has been a major flop, as they have gone from Championship contenders to draft lottery hopefuls.

Recent rumours suggest that the 76ers are open to trading George in the summer, just a year after he joined the organization.

Alex Walsh of TWSN has suggested a trade that would see the Heat receive George while the 76ers would get Wiggins, Terry Rozier and a 2026 1st Rounder.

Would signing George be the right step for the Heat? On top of his game, he is one of the best players in the league.

But there are fears that at 34 years of age, he has entered his decline as a player and has not been helped by a variety of fitness issues he has faced throughout the course of the season.

The Heat do need to do something but taking on George’s mega contract after seeing him struggle in Philadelphia would not be a smart move if you ask us.
