The Miami Heat hunt whales in the offseason who can deliver championships, and the organization is primed to do so again this summer.
A great deal of discussion around the Heat as it pertains to this offseason has been about the potential of the team trading Jimmy Butler, who has led the locker room to three Eastern Conference Finals appearances and two NBA Finals appearances over the last five years.

“Trae [Young] for [Tyler] Herro and [Duncan] Robinson and Miami’s pick in the [2024] draft — they’ll have to draft a guy and trade him — and then their [2029] unprotected first,” Simmons said on “The Bill Simmons Podcast” that aired on June 10. “And then, if you’re Miami, you keep Butler, you have Bam.
