Miami Heat Win Game

The Miami Heat finally won a game in the 2026-2027 season after five tries.

Heat Gameplan Changes

Although there were changes made to their gameplan in the win that should leave Heat fans optimistic going forward, the Heat could still be another shot creator short.

Kyrie Irving Trade Link

Kyrie Irving, who has been connected to the Heat multiple times in the past, is being brought up again by NBA insiders as a potential trade candidate.

Shams Charania on Trade

They are going to be monitoring Kyrie Irving, but there's gonna be several teams monitoring Kyrie Irving. The question is, if you're Miami, what can you give for Kyrie Irving?

“They are going to be monitoring Kyrie Irving. The question is, if you're Miami, what can you give for Kyrie Irving?, I believe they have 1 first round pick they can trade. Is that enough to get Kyrie Irving? My sense, is probably not.”

Fischer on Heat Interest

This isn't the first time this season that an insider has specifically mentioned the Heat as a team who might be interested in Irving's services.

Fischer on Trade Scenarios

Kyrie Irving trade scenarios are something that I think we're going to be talking about between now and the February 11th trade deadline as well.

Irving's Mavericks Future

Also, before that Fischer reporting came out, ESPN aired a segment about Kyrie Irving's future with the Mavericks, which featured longtime Dallas-based reporter Tim McMahon and longtime NBA reporter Marcus Spears.

Irving's Mavericks Status

Meanwhile, Irving acknowledged that his future with the Mavericks isn't under his control.

Heat Trade Package Ideas

The Heat could put together a package centered around Andrew Wiggins and Davion Mitchell's contracts to match salaries.

Sweetening the Pot

Additionally, they would likely have to sweeten the pot by offering their last tradeable first round pick, a 2029 conditional first rounder, and/or Ryan Conwell, the No. 37 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

Roster Limit Challenge

All of these scenarios, however, would take the Mavs past the roster limit, meaning a third team would likely have to get involved, unless the Mavs are willing to part with two or three more…

Rockets as Potential Home

Fischer previously mentioned the Houston Rockets as a team that could make sense for Irving given his connections with Rockets coach Ime Udoka and megastar Kevin Durant, combined with how close it is to Dallas…

Detroit Pistons as Option

Another team that could make sense, long being rumored to be looking for another shot creator, is the Detroit Pistons.

Irving's Preferred Teams

The Heat, along with the Mavs, both Los Angeles-based teams, the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers, were among Irving's preferred destinations after asking to be traded from the Brooklyn Nets.
