\nIt 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.<\/p>\n
\nIt 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Recent rumours suggest that the 76ers are open to trading George in the summer, just a year after he joined the organization.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
