The Miami Heat haven’t made any major offseason acquisitions thus far, frustrating many fans who believed they would shift their direction this year.

But, they still have time. Between conversations around All-Stars Bradley Beal and Damian Lillard, another option has emerged as a possible deal to dish out Andrew Wiggins. NBA reporter Jovan Buha says the Heat talked to the Los Angeles Lakers, reportedly requesting Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht, and a first-round pick for Wiggins.

Obviously, this is a hefty price for a veteran on the decline. However, in the NBA offseason, any options are on the table for discussion.

And Heat fans are already hopping on board for this idea.

The Lakers have been linked to Wiggins for a while, with some believing that his addition would elevate Los Angeles as a contender. He would bring defense to a squad that needs a perimeter protector amid a starting lineup centered around the offensive threats.

On the other end, it would be a smash hit with Miami reeling in a pair of forwards that can hit on the perimeter. They would help reform the reeling scoring unit, providing solid frontcourt production.

It’s unlikely the Heat would get that much in return, especially considering Lakers president Rob Pelinka’s track record of hitting homers on blockbuster trades. Nevertheless, it leaves the possibility open to at least consider upgrades for a team desperately needing them.

Warriors’ next best option after Al Horford is painfully obvious, and it’s not hard to see why. With his departure, the team is left with a gaping hole in the middle, and it’s clear that they need someone who can provide a similar level of skill and experience. The question is, who can fill that void and help the Warriors make a deep playoff run?

It’s no secret that the Golden State Warriors hope to sign Al Horford, but if they fail to, there’s another option worth considering.

With the Warriors’ recent struggles on defense, can Moses Moody work his way back into the rotation and provide a much-needed spark off the bench? Has he done enough in practice to convince Steve Kerr to give him another chance to prove himself in a game situation?

Golden State desperately needs him to.
