The Miami Heat are not in the NBA Finals, so we have weeks of transaction talk ahead of us. And the Salt Lake Tribune proposed a trade that would send Donovan Mitchell to the Heat.
I last wrote about Mitchell joining the Heat right after the 2022 trade deadline. The KZ Okpala trade opened up the possibility that the Heat could trade their 2022 first-round pick right after making the selection along with their 2023 pick. (Teams are forbidden from trading future first-round picks in consecutive seasons, but trading the pick right after it is made along with next year’s pick gets around that rule.
