Report: Heat trying to trade Derrick Williams to make room for Okaro White

The Miami Heat are 8-0 since Okaro White joined the team and, while he can’t be given all the credit, the Heat don’t want to lose him.

White was called up from the Heat’s D-League affiliate the Sioux Falls Skyforce and has emerged as a contributor to a team that may be turning a corner. He’s signed the maximum two 10-day contracts, and the NBA says the team will have to trade or release a player to keep him, according to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson.

To do that, the Heat are actively shopping reserve forward Derrick Williams.
