The NBA trade deadline is always fun times.
“Sources” do some of their loudest talking around this time of year.
Just about every team in the league will be taking and making phones to discuss moves that will help them reach their ultimate goal – whether that goal is to go deep in the playoffs, collect ping-pong balls, or somewhere in between.
In Miami’s case, their goal is to stay on its current trajectory – winning 14 of its 16 games leading up to the All-Star break – and ascend into one of the final eight playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.
