Heat have obvious reasons to avoid blockbuster trade for Anthony Davis

The Miami Heat have a pressing need for a star. Not even necessarily a specific one, either. A high-end shot-creator would probably be ideal, especially given Tyler Herro's uncertain future with the franchise, but they surely wouldn't mind a true standout two-way wing. And unless they're blown away by the flashes Kel'el Ware has shown, they'd have to give a star big man serious consideration, too.

A lot of options are on the table, in other words. But an Anthony Davis pursuit shouldn't be one of them. It might seem like an obvious fix with NBA insider Marc Stein reporting the Dallas Mavericks are expected to work with Anthony Davis on whether to pursue an in-season trade, but Miami has needs that even this 10-time All-Star couldn't provide.
