1. Miami Heat

The Miami Heat are one team that could desperately use Josh Smith, and he would fit right in to what they need him to do. Dwyane Wade isn’t getting any younger, and they need another impact player that can help give him some time to rest. Chris Bosh has been dealing with a calf injury, and the Heat are beginning to realize that they need to bring in another impact player.

Smith is going to be a nightmare or a home run, but he is exactly what the Heat need. He would bring the ability to score, rebound, pass, and defend, but he’ll have to realize that he isn’t the number one option when both Wade and Bosh are on the court. Miami may not end up getting him, but they could really use a move like this to get them back on track this season.
