The third tier of the NBA are teams that have playoff ambitions. These teams are not gonna have an easy road to the playoffs nor will they be considered contenders in the NBA. However, the chances of these teams filling out the rest of the playoff bracket are high.
James Harden wants out of Houston and it appears he’s doing all he can to make that clear. On Tuesday, ESPN reported Harden told the Houston Rockets before training camp “that he would be open to a trade to the Philadelphia 76ers or possibly other contenders.” The 76ers were listed as one of Harden’s preferred destinations, which reportedly included the Brooklyn Nets and the Miami Heat.
Since the Miami Heat “Big Three” era ended, the team has done a great job of scouting and developing talent. They have turned undrafted and second round picks into productive rotational players. Could KZ Okpala be next?
This is the fourth day of NBA free agency. So far, the Miami Heat re-signed Goran Dragic, Meyers Leonard, and Udonis Haslem. They lost Jae Crowder and Derrick Jones Jr to bigger offers. To replace the two players, they added Avery Bradley and Moe Harkless. While the moves may not be exciting to some, it’s clear Miami remains focused on 2021.
Back in February, the Miami Heat tried trading for Danilo Gallinari at the trade deadline. They also offered the forward an extension. Now, according to Five Reasons Sports, the team remains interested in pursuing the forward in free agency.
A name that’s often been mentioned in trade rumors is Victor Oladipo. It’s no secret that the guard wants to leave the Indiana Pacers.
Welcome to the NBA offseason, where rumors happen. Some rumors end up being true and some don’t. The latest NBA rumor brings up the possibility of Giannis Antetokounmpo being traded to the Miami Heat before the end of next season. This latest report comes from Ashley Nicole of iHeart radio.
“If there’s a next thing that can take us to another level, I’m open to it”, Pat Riley said during his press conference last Friday. After reaching the NBA Finals this year, the Miami Heat are still looking to add another star. Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo remains the team’s number one target. The next one on the list is Bradley Beal. For the past two years, Miami has tried to acquire Beal from the Washington Wizards but failed.
Even though the Miami Heat had a great postseason, there will always be the “what if” questions surrounding the championship series. What if Goran Dragic didn’t miss multiple games with the foot injury? What if Bam Adebayo didn’t have the neck strain? These are the thoughts every Heat fan thinks about every day. Even Heat President Pat Riley wonders what could’ve happened in the 2020 NBA Finals.
There’s been speculation the team may have to part with Josh Richardson. Richardson is on a good contract but could opt out of his $11 million player option for the 2021-22 NBA season.
After making a surprising championship run in the playoffs, the Miami Heat will have a lot of decisions to make this offseason. The biggest decision of the offseason will involve the contract talks with rising star big man Bam Adebayo.
