"Assuming that is the case, it's hard to imagine the Heat is going to do anything in their power to jeopardize their chances at acquiring Giannis. That means if Giannis is not going to be available at the deadline, the Heat are unlikely to make a win-now move. It'd make zero sense to burn assets on a short-sighted move that would hurt their chances to land Giannis in a few months."
"If anything, the Heat could end up making a small move to try to add another asset for their eventual pursuit of Giannis. But their lack of overall activity at the trade deadline will only further frustrate fans. Especially for a Heat season that is almost certainly going to end similarly to last year, it has to be an unfortunate experience for fans to watch it all unfold - again."
The Miami Heat appear poised to remain largely inactive at the NBA Trade Deadline while monitoring Giannis Antetokounmpo's potential availability. The franchise is unlikely to make a win-now trade that would expend assets and reduce flexibility for a future pursuit of Giannis. The Heat might make a minor move to add an asset that strengthens a later bid, but significant roster changes are improbable. Fans should expect frustration as another season may conclude similarly to the last without bold deadline moves. Patience from the front office and the fan base is required if the Heat intend to pursue Giannis in coming months.
