NBA Trades: Heat and Sixers land stars in huge, proposed deal with Cavs and Wizards
By Cal Durrett
Following a disappointing end to a forgettable season, the Miami Heat should be active this summer as they hope to remake their roster to remain a contender going forward. They will have to be creative to do so since they don't have cap space and have a limited amount of assets, but they may have just enough to pull off a big trade.
That leads us to an absolutely wild trade proposal by Bleacher Report's Eric Pincus involving the Heat as well as the Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Washington Wizards. Similar to the Heat, the 76ers also face pressure to improve this summer in the hopes of regaining the upper hand in an increasingly tough Eastern Conference.
However, unlike the Heat, they have plenty of cap space as well as the picks needed to make a big signing or trade. The Cavaliers are among the teams that the Heat and Sixers competed with this season, but with one of their stars seemingly wanting out, they may be forced to make a deal.
As for the Wizards, they don't have a lot of talent and don't have as many draft picks as other rebuilding teams. Therefore, they may be willing to take part in a big trade to try and acquire more assets. Next, we'll take a look at the proposed trade and see whether each team would actually agree to the deal.
