Finished! Exposed the Heat's three major champions players left the team, Butler is difficult to compete for the championship!
According to the US media "FW", the Heat are discussing a four-way deal with Philadelphia, the Suns, and the Cavaliers, and the specific transaction plan is: the Heat sent Lowry, Dunroe, and Ute Cevin to Harris and Sexton. The 76ers sent Harris to Get Love and Craig; The Suns sent Crowder and Craig to Dunroe and UteSevern; The Cavaliers sent Love and Sexton to Lowry and Crowder. If the deal is completed, 36-year-old championship point guard Lowry will leave the Heat.
After helping the Raptors win the championship, Lowry did not choose to end up in Toronto, coming to Miami to join hands with Butler to launch another attack on the championship. As he grew older, the impact of Lowry's state injuries declined severely. Last season, he only contributed 7.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists per game for the team, and missed many playoff games due to injury. Heat general manager Patricelli is very appreciative of Sexton, although the former Cavaliers are the point guard and only played 11 games last season, but the divine operator is very appreciative of Sexton's personal ability and potential. Intentionally bring him to Miami. The arrival of Harris will also further enhance the Heat's forward offensive strength, and the Heat have also ushered in the ultimate reinforcement.
It is worth noting that Sexton has played for the Cavaliers for many seasons, and the team management once wanted to develop him as a core player. But it turns out that Sexton is probably unable to take on the leadership of the team, and the Cavaliers management seems to have seen Sexton's ceiling, Harris has not been taken seriously in the 76ers, since joining Philadelphia has been tepid, although with a certain scoring ability, but it is difficult to expect Harris to share the scoring pressure on Butler at the key moments of the game. Although Lowry is in a slump, the champion has a wealth of game experience in the backcourt, his passing vision is excellent, except for Lowry, the Heat do not have a real organizational guard, and Lowry's departure is likely to affect the Heat's offensive organization. So whether this deal is a loss or a profit, the Heat management really has to weigh it well.
Tucker, who joined the Heat last year, has joined the 76ers under the call of Harden, and according to previous reports in the US media, the Heat's interior big player Morris is also eager to join Philadelphia with Tucker to launch another attack on the championship! If Lowry leaves the Heat this summer, it means Miami will lose three players with championship experience this summer. This is certainly a big loss for the Heat. Morris, Tucker and Lowry have declined to varying degrees as they age, but Tucker's style on the court is very tough, Lowry can also give his opponents a fatal blow at key moments in the game, and Although Morris is only an internal substitute for the team, he can make Adebayor get enough rest time to play a role in the key moments of the game.
Although the departure of these three players helped the Heat get the salary space they wanted, it also helped the team introduce some more powerful players in the free agent market. But the young Sexton and Harris are far less experienced than Tucker and Lowry, the league's old fritters. What's more, they have a lot of Experience in the Finals, and once the Heat want to go into this year's playoffs or Finals, it's even more important to keep these players with championship experience. The departure of these players will also make the Heat very disadvantaged in terms of experience, and Butler's long-cherished wish to impact the championship may be shattered.
Unless they can get the Nets' star Kevin Durant in the free agent market this summer, although Durant regards the Heat as one of his favorite next home, but the Heat, the trading chips that management can provide are too shabby, and Durant joins the Heat is almost impossible to complete. So personally, I think that if you send away an old fritter like Lowry with championship experience, the Heat have basically withdrawn from the championship battle next season.
