Miami Heat Trade Targets Ahead Of 2024 NBA Trade Deadline Ft. Obi Toppin & P.J. Washington

Parties we’ll also have you covered on the latest trade rumors up to the deadline this Thursday and we’ll have you covered on the Miami Heat throughout the rest of the season into the off seon so hit that sub button and let’s pick up a rack in the month of

February all right I am Nick Roff of the heat report and on today’s show we are going to look at five NBA players that the heat could Target before that February 8th NBA trade deadline where once it goes past 3 p.m. eastern time there are no more trades you can make

This season and I got Five Guys that the Heat and Pat Riley could take a look at to upgrade this roster I think it’s first though to be conscious and aware of what the biggest need for Miami is in my eyes it is front Court versatility

What do you what do I mean by that front Court versatility I mean the ability to play next to Jimmy Butler and Bam I also mean the ability to defend and not be a defensive liability on the floor alongside Jimmy and Bam because we can’t get the best of both worlds right now

When you think about who plays next to Jimmy and Bam in the front court it’s Haywood heith who he’s a fine Defender but struggles with his shooting at times it’s Kevin Love who can space the floor and be good offensively oh but can’t really defend that well it’s haime hakz

JR who is still super super young and I’m unsure of his ability to really make a massive impact for Miami when it comes to April and May so that’s what I’m looking at the ability to impact the game offensively and defensively for Miami when playing alongside Jimmy and

Bam so I’m basically looking for a closing or starting power forward we’ll start with PJ Washington who the Heat have been linked to in the past and I really like PJ’s game I’ve always thought about him as someone who is really good and someone who can be next

To Bam in the front Court cuz he could space the floor offensively can grab some boards and maybe play a little bit of Defense but the only issue is that he is a Charlotte Hornet and I don’t know if I want to go back to that well I

Think it is important to note that his contract is not an expiring it’s three years $ 46.5 million so if you were to trade for PJ Washington who’s making just over 15 mil a season well you might have to include Duncan Robinson in that deal who is making about $18 million I

Don’t know who you can add to Caleb Martin 6 million to get an equal PJs 15 a season but you see the numbers on screen he can be a scorer when called upon not the most efficient guy but we did just watch him score 40 points in

One NBA game a week and a half ago the three-point shooting numbers is a little bit down for PJ but he has expressed the ability to knock them down at an efficient clip in the past and he is a really good Corner three-point shooter where if Jimmy gets hit on that Bas line

Could swing it to PJ or if Bam gets caught in the short roll and he’s immediately met by a couple eyes compacting inside that painted area he can kick it out to Washington for catch and shoot triple and unlike Haywood heith he is very confident in his

Ability to shoot and Haywood at times will hesitate maybe not shoot it right away pump fake and let the defender close out PJ will absolutely let that fly and shoot with no hesitation the only concern I have and doubt I have with the potential PJ Washington deal is

That well they’d have to go back to Charlotte to make another trade and if Pat Riley would really wanted to add Washington to this Heat roster well you would have imagined he would have at least talked about it including him with the Terry Rosier deal when Kyle lry was

Shipped to Charlotte we have four more names to get to but I want to know who you think Miami should trade for we’ve talked a lot about Dorian finy Smith we have some new names on this list today who is someone you want Miami to trade

For drop a name for me down in the comment section speaking of Dorian Smith he is next on my heat trade targets list and it’s really hard to imagine a better fit in the NBA than Dorian Vinnie Smith we talked about him in depth on yesterday’s episode we’ve talked about

Him on multiple episodes but this guy is someone who can be the best defender on the floor for any given team it just wouldn’t be the best defender on the floor for Miami because of how good bam at a bio is but he is one of the best

Wing defenders in the entire NBA I call him an elite elite Defender two Elites for you because he can guard one through five I’ve said two through five in the past but I truly believe if he got switched on to a guard on a possession he could hold his own I’ve read off

Statistics of how he played against the Clippers who we just played last night in a bad loss how he defended qu Leonard and Paul George so effectively holding them to one of nine shooting yeah this guy can guard and I’ve also talked about his ability to play a PJ Tucker esque

Role when defending people bigger than him if you had to switch him on to a center or play him at a small ball Center at a spot moment because of how strength or how strong he is and how good he is with his base he can really

Give a nudge to opposing big men to throw them off their spot potentially as they try to bring the ball up or turn around for a hook Dorian finy Smith can do it all on the defensive level and if you are dealing with Brooklyn on a potential trade I wonder if you can

Squeeze squeeze Dennis Smith Jr out of them as well I am a big fan of DJ’s game if you were with us in the off seon uh before this year began I was always labeling out how Dennis SMI Jr should have been someone Miami signed to be the

Backup point guard even before the Damen Lillard Saga really took off like I didn’t care if Dame was going to be our point guard or Kyle Lowry was going to be our PG I wanted dsj to be the backup because of how athletic he is and how well he plays defensively he’s averaging

S a game this year 1.2 Steals and four assists he struggles with his outside shooting but if you able to get Dorian finny Smith could you get Dennis mun to fortify some point of attack defense that would be very very intriguing in my opinion three names to get two left in

The video but I do want to show some love to our sponsor on the show they returned that is prize picks the number one daily fantasy sports platform in North America it’s daily Fantasy Made Easy all you got to do is pick two to six player stat projections pick more

Than or less than and you can watch the winnings roll in potentially up to 25 times your money we got the big game coming up this Sunday you know I’m playing this upcoming weekend Patrick Mahomes I’ll take the freebie they’re giving you you should take advantage of

It too at over or more than excuse me half a passing yards more than Isaiah Pacho rushing plus receiving touchdowns I think he finds Pay Dirt I’ll take the last down on Debo Samuel receiving yards because I think it’s a Christian mcaffrey game I’ll take them more then

On his receiving yards you could join me rapper Meek Mill comedian Andrew Schultz and plenty and plenty of others at priz pick make watching sports oh so more fun at prize.com ands they’re giving you a first deposit match up to $100 that link is in the comments and description of

Today’s vi video take advantage right now an intriguing name we haven’t talked about on prior videos how about Obi toen the former Dayton flyer from the A10 and lottery pick for the New York Knicks his first season in Indiana in my opinion has actually gone pretty well but to me

It’s fascinating that his minutes aren’t that high he’s actually only playing just about 23 24 minutes a night and ever since they acquired Pascal cakam his minutes have taken a dip and his usage rate in volume has also taken a little bit of a dip but he’s averaging

Double digit points per game he’s having really efficient season shooting 56% from the field and 39% from three on 3.2 attempts so it’s not like he’s shooting 39% on one or two attempts he’s getting up three a game so he’s shooting about 1.4 1.3 um to that 3.2 number on a

Specific game to game basis the only thing with Obi toppen that holds me back a little bit is that he is a restricted free agent in 2024 so he would potentially only be your rental and if you were looking into that potential deal of moving off Caleb Martin for

Another forward um to help this Heat roster well you’re moving on from Caleb because you probably wouldn’t be able to retain him in this off season it’s likely the same scenario for OB topen but he’s 69 he’s got bunnies he can play that power forward position you get him

Bought in to that Miami Heat system playing good defense he could use that athleticism and shooting prowess to really upgrade this roster and he’s probably a Tre cheap trade Target as well but I want you to make the call for me as we are talking about trade targets

To help fortify this Miami he roster can this team if the heat and Pat Riley Don’t Make a Deal make a run in the playoffs with this current roster as it is constructed without another trade type y if you think they can type n if you think they can’t oh it is getting

Dicey to compete with those top teams in Eastern Conference I’ll tell you what all right we’ll look at a familiar face at number four and that is p EJ Tucker from the Los Angeles Clippers who has been really relegated to nothing over in the Lac we just played the Clippers and

You saw PJ Tucker get absolutely zero minutes and he is just someone who’s sitting on the bench as a veteran presence and there is a report that came out today that PJ Tucker is looking to be traded but that’s not really any new information it’s been known that he

Doesn’t want to be an LA anymore because well he’s not playing anymore I don’t think the heat should trade for PJ Tucker but put him on this list to kind of make a note that even if the heat do not make a move before that deadline on

Thursday at 3 p.m. eastern time I do expect Miami to be at least active to a certain degree in the buyout market and I think PJ Tucker could be my top Target in the buyout Market just because of his experience in the 305 with that year in

2021 his relationship with SPO bam Jimmy I think he could give you good minutes as a defensive front Court guy Off the Bench maybe a little bit more minutes from Haywood heith being taken I like PJ Tucker’s ability he is my top Target and kind of honestly just a Vibes guy on the

Bench to be potentially even a Udonis Haslam role where he doesn’t get a lot of playing time but knows the heat culture and can be that veteran leader in the locker room all right last name we’ll talk about on today’s video is another old friend of ours and that is

Kelly o l little kellyo action from Utah He’s also got one year left on his deal I believe it’s around $13 million he is also a sneaky buyout Target and candidate but I don’t really know if he will be bought out because of what he

Can bring to the table for a team in a trade I mean he’s not having the most crazy offensive year for kello Linux standards but what stands out to me is his efficiency he’s shooting 56% from the field and 43% from Beyond The Arc and when Kelly o Linux spent time in

Miami playing with Jimmy Butler and Bam and even prior regimes as well I was not the biggest kellyo guy I’ll be honest I didn’t like the way he gave up so many easy offensive rebounds I also didn’t like the way he defended but I might have traded Kelly a little too harshly

Because when you look at this Miami Heat team and what they could use right now well it’s Kelly o Linux size and spacing ability at that power forward spot and also oin has been a little bit of a better playmaker as well when he’s drawing Defenders he’s not afraid to

Dish it and find an open guy he’s averaging 4.3 assists per game this year oen maybe sliding in as that starting power forward yes a starter next to Jimmy and Bam well it could bold well help them on the defensive glass it’ll help them switch between bam and kellyo

Inside and it will also provide more shooting and more spacing on the offensive end as Miami has continued to struggle scoring as they did not Eclipse 100 points once again last night against the Los Angeles Clippers those are my five targets for the Miami Heat as the deadline is just 3 days away
