Heat Could Deal Victor Oladipo in ‘Logical’ Deadline Move

The Miami Heat are 21-20 and in eighth place in the Eastern Conference. They are looking for a trade before the February 9 deadline. Victor Oladipo and Dewayne Dedmon are potential targets. They were discussed on the HoopsHype podcast. The podcast did not specify any potential trade targets in discussing the topic. It was suggested that DedMon's $4.7 million salary this season could give the team flexibility in matching salary in larger deal.

Tyler Herro could be traded to Miami Heat for Zach LaVine. The New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks are also interested in La Vine, but Chicago Bulls are not willing to sell. Sports betting website Betonline.ag has the Heat as a likely landing spot for Lavine and they have 7-to-2 odds to get him.

Bam Adebayo played with an injured hand during the Heat's loss to the Brooklyn Nets on January 8. The 25-year-old is listed as questionable with a right wrist contusion ahead of the game against the Thunder.
