The NBA trade deadline has passed and the Miami Heat made three trades.
A couple of days before the deadline, the Heat traded fan-favorite Chris “Birdman” Anderson to the Memphis Grizzlies.
The 2017 pick is top-40 protected. In other words, the Heat keep the pick if they are one of the 10 worst teams in the NBA next year. It is unlikely the Heat keep this pick. The 2019 pick is via Boston and is protected top-55. This pick is not likely to convey. So, the Grizzlies essentially took Birdman’s contract for a mid-to-late second round draft pick.
