The trade deadline is in the books and at least the Miami Heat did something. Right?
Before a quiet Thursday, the Heat shipped out a pair of guards in a deal with the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Miami sent guard Tyler Johnson and wing Wayne Ellington to the Suns in exchange for post player Ryan Anderson. On the court, it’s a move which might not have too many implications, but could set the Heat up to be more aggressive moving forward after it cut about $8 million from its tax bill.
On a rapid-reaction Heat Check podcast from deadline day, David Wilson and Anthony Chiang, the Miami Herald’s Heat beat writer, break down what the trade means for Miami for the rest of this season and moving forward.
