NBA Rumors: The player Miami Heat wants to strengthen its roster with
The Florida franchise lost Jimmy Butler a few months ago and finds themselves in a complicated situation, with the risk of not making it past playoff rounds for several years.
According to Jake Fischer, the Miami Heat are a possible destination for John Collins. On the Bleacher Report Free Agency Show on YouTube, Fischer discussed Collins and the potential of him joining the Heat.
Fischer said during the live broadcast: "I think the Heat are exploring several options. One name I've heard for them is John Collins... John Collins is the last of the three veterans that Utah apparently has tried to trade for about two years. I think if that happens, the Heat would be the most likely team."
The difficulty of the trade
It makes sense that John Collins would have some interest in returning to that area since he has roots there. Utah is leaning towards a youthful movement, and John Collins doesn't fit the current team composition.
That being said, interest and an agreement are two different things. Collins' contract is quite high, and it's unclear if a deal can be reached. It's an intriguing option and would provide the Heat with an expiring contract to work with if they want to make some moves in free agency next year.
