"Plus, adding him to a defensive lineup that also includes Bam Adebayo, Jaquez, Wiggins, Davion Mitchell, and Kel'el Ware would be absolutely monstrous, especially with how much energy he plays with. Having a guy always willing to put his body on the line (and protect his teammates) would be a great fit in Miami. Fans would fall in love with Washington's game very quickly."
"He made a pretty good case for Pat Riley to trade for him, too. With how well he played against the Heat on Monday, he should be firmly on Miami's radar come trade season. On Monday night, Washington finished the game against the Heat with 27 points, seven rebounds, one assist, and two blocks while shooting 10-of-21 from the field and 3-of-9 from beyond the three-point arc. He also made all four of his free throws."
PJ Washington offers the Miami Heat a versatile power-forward skill set that includes three-point shooting, defensive switchability, ball-handling, and physical intensity. He could provide depth alongside Andrew Wiggins, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and the existing forward core while fitting into Erik Spoelstra's free-flowing, low pick-and-roll offense. Washington's energy and willingness to sacrifice his body would strengthen Miami's defense when paired with Bam Adebayo, Davion Mitchell, and Kel'el Ware. Washington scored 27 points with seven rebounds and two blocks in a recent matchup versus Miami, demonstrating scoring and defensive impact. Miami holds a $16.8 million trade exception that could facilitate an acquisition.
