The Miami Heat just finished a three-game road trip a disappointing 1-2, with bad losses to the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks bookending a good win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
The NBA trade deadline is Thursday, Feb. 9. Miami holds the tiebreaker over the New York Knicks for the sixth seed — and therefore a guaranteed playoff spot — but the Heat and Knicks still have all four matchups to play.
As I wrote last month, the Heat have a small window now to improve their roster before we have to write off another season.
