Miami Heat make big splash on trade deadline day

The NBA trade deadline has just passed, and the Miami Heat has made a big move that can hopefully push them to the top of the Eastern conference. They have traded for 36 years old Andre Iguodala of the Memphis Grizzlies. Miami gave up Justice Winslow, Dion Waiters and James Johnson for the center piece Andre Iguodala, Jae Crowder and Solomon Hill. The addition of these players could help Miami throughout the second half of the season. These three players are defensive minded and are joining an already defensive minded team. The old saying is “defense wins championships” and the Miami Heat are trying to prove that with this last-minute trade. This trade made a big splash in the NBA community and came as a surprise to the rest of the NBA. Also, Miami has planned their salary cap perfectly to free up enough money to sign a player to a max contract in the 2021 off-season.
