On Thursday before the trade deadline, the HEAT acquired Dwyane Wade from the Cavaliers for a protected 2024 second-round draft pick and also picked up Luke Babbitt from the Hawks for Okaro White.
Miami HEAT President, Pat Riley, spoke about the moves on a conference call.
On The Trade Deadline As A Whole
“We have passed another trade deadline, so it’s 47 years for me, and I think this is one of the very best for me personally and also as the president of the organization. [I’m] just so happy that we were able to be able to complete a trade that I truly think is going to help us tremendously and from a competitive standpoint now to win.
