Report: ‘Rival Teams’ believe Miami trades 2022 first-round pick

The Miami Heat will be selecting No. 27 in the 2022 NBA Draft, which is less than 72 hours away. It marks their fourth first-round selection since 2016 and it will be their only 2022 draft selection, with their second-rounder forfeited due to the tampering scandel when Miami signed Kyle Lowry last summer.

However, according to Jeremy Woo of Sports Illustrated, some believe the Heat might not keep their pick:

“Rival teams believe there’s a good chance the Heat ultimately trade this pick, considering their salary cap situation and their knack for uncovering and developing undrafted talent,” Woo wrote in his latest NBA Mock Draft, with the Heat drafting Kansas guard Christian Braun.
