The Miami Heat now have one less future problem to sort out after a shocking trade of Haywood Highsmith. Nevertheless, it still doesn't make what happens next any clearer.
Miami officially traded Highsmith and a 2032 second-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for a highly protected 2026 second-round pick. The Nets will only convey the selection if it falls outside of picks 31-55. Essentially, the Heat paid the Nets to take on Highsmith, a move that brings even more questions than answers for a franchise that was already going through its own existential crisis.
