The Miami Heat's current roster features Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro as key players, but lacks a definitive superstar. There are indications the team may be planning to acquire a major star soon, which would reshape their identity. Recent commentary notes that Miami isn't in a rebuild phase; they're exploring various options. Despite losing Jimmy Butler, the Heat performed well last season, making playoff history. The potential for a surprising star trade is high, akin to past successful acquisitions like Jimmy Butler.
The Miami Heat, the zombie Heat ... There were a couple small things they did over the course of the summer where it's like, I just thought that team was done and maybe should think about trading Bam and just blowing it up and starting over. There's just kind of a roster flexibility slash identity forming.
They are not in full rebuild mode, but they are not pushing all their chips in either. Instead, they're creating options.
Even after dealing away Jimmy Butler they still remained a tough out down the stretch of last season and became the first ever 10 seed to make the playoffs.
The idea of a surprise star trade feels more like a when, not if. Miami has done this before.
