Pat Riley failed in his pursuit of acquiring a superstar talent this summer. Instead, he\u2019s settled on the addition of Norman Powell.<\/p>\n<p>However, if Miami wants to get the best out of Herro, they must give him another teammate capable of handling the rock and initiating some of the offense. In a July 30 article, Dan Riccio of \u201cHot Hot Hoops\u201d pinpointed Jrue Holiday as a logical trade target for the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHoliday is a proven winning player, two-time champion and all-defensive caliber guard,\u201d Riccio wrote. \u201cHe is also still an efficient and capable outside shooter that can provide some balance to a Tyler Herro-focused backcourt. But his contract and age could pose as an issue in any negotiations, despite the pedigree Holiday still brings to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Holiday is a versatile talent at the guard position. He can operate as a lead ball-handler, secondary scorer, or plug gaps in the overall rotation. Furthermore, he\u2019s one of the best guard defenders in the NBA and knows what it takes to win a championship.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear whether Holiday would be available for trade, though. He was shipped to the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this summer, and at first glance, it would appear that Chauncey Billups plans on integrating him into the rotation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Bam Adebayo Speaks on Heat\u2019s New Additions<\/h2>\n<p>During a recent discussion with Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Miami\u2019s star big man Bam Adebayo shared his thoughts on the Heat\u2019s offseason moves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a very good shake-up for our team and now there\u2019s a different dynamic to it,\u201d Adebayo said when addressing the media on Saturday, August 2. \u201cI feel like Norman is one of those guys who floats under the radar. But as you saw this year, he\u2019s really shown that he can be an All-Star caliber player. You\u2019ve seen what he\u2019s done and you\u2019ve seen him grow in this league. And, obviously, he wants to take the next challenge. Obviously, the next challenge is being with the Miami Heat. So I\u2019m happy to have him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Heat have added Powell, Simone Fontecchio and Kasparas Jakucionis this summer. They\u2019ve also re-signed Davion Mitchell on a two-year $24 million contract. Adebayo will undoubtedly be excited to get back to work with a new-look Heat roster. Nevertheless, a potential addition of Holiday would take Erik Spoelstra\u2019s team to a new level.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Heat Expected to be \u201cDone\u201d Making Trades<\/h2>\n<p>In a recent episode of the \u201cZaslow Show 2.0,\u201d NBA cap expert Bobby Marks suggested that Miami could be done making trades this summer.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_qrv16a9ed\">\u201cI mean, listen, we\u2019re going to see probably within the next couple of days, Beal become available in free agency,\u201d Marks said. \u201cI think the Norman Powell move eliminates that, as far as what they need. They\u2019re a little bit below the first apron, so they can go out and sign a minimum guy if they want to do that. But I\u2019m not anticipating another big move.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"13821074119b58a6217e2d69495c4d83\">\n<div data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HeatCulture13\/status\/1943704661359218869\">\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\" data-width=\"550\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Bobby Marks says he\u2019s not expecting another big move from MIA this offseason after Norman Powell trade<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the move, it was a low risk move as far as what they did\u2026.I\u2019m not anticipating a huge move as for what\u2019s next with this roster\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Via @BobbyMarks42) pic.twitter.com\/wGfGvvIRzX<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/undefined\/status\/1943704661359218869?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1943704661359218869%7Ctwgr%5E4edd8a1ff9dbab71d5a01f5ec23e6104533590b0%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fheavy.com%2Fsports%2Fnba%2Fmiami-heat%2F2-time-champion-cited-as-attainable-trade-target-for-heat%2F<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If Marks is correct, we won\u2019t see Holiday or any other talent heading to Miami this summer. Instead, Spoelstra will make do with the roster at his disposal. Whether that will be enough for the Heat to contend in the Eastern Conference will remain to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Taylor is a basketball reporter covering the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns for Heavy.
