"In a vacuum, AD is the type of superstar that would appeal to the Heat. He's also one who would be a particularly intriguing fit next to Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt. There's no guarantee he'd be a player on the team's radar, but you'd have to assume there have, at the very least, been conversations inside the front office about the possibility."
"There are health concerns, durability concerns, and asset concerns regarding a potential trade of AD for the Heat. But, perhaps more than that, there's no guarantee that AD would be a piece that effectively puts this team over the top in the Eastern Conference. And that has to be the big head-scratcher for the Heat if they were to pursue a deal for AD."
Teams are not lining up for a potential Anthony Davis trade, creating a possible buy-low window for the Miami Heat if the Mavericks continue to struggle. Pat Riley's reputation for acquiring discounted superstars could make a move plausible. Anthony Davis would present an appealing frontcourt pairing with Bam Adebayo, but significant health and durability concerns exist. The asset cost for such a trade would be substantial and could still weaken the roster. There is no certainty that Davis would push the Heat to Eastern Conference supremacy. Continued Mavericks losses would increase the trade's plausibility and fan interest.
