Despite the intrigue surrounding the Miami Heat's new offense, they still desperately need a superstar player to build around heading into the future. There's reason to believe Lauri Markkanen could be another realistic potential target for the Heat heading into the NBA Trade Deadline.
The Heat's 4-4 start to the season is stellar, but if they truly want to be considered among the championship contenders in the Eastern Conference, they need to make a bigger splash at some point soon. If the Heat isn't open to the idea of going all-in for Ja Morant, perhaps Markkanen could be their prime target.
