The Heat could potentially solve both problems at once in a trade with the rebuilding Utah Jazz.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN&#8217;s Tim MacMahon\u00a0reported that a handful of Jazz veterans are available for trade, including the energy-bringing Collin Sexton.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Player development is the priority for the Jazz, and that isn&#8217;t just a euphemism for targeting a top spot in a loaded lottery. Utah has the youngest roster in the league with eight players under 24 and is using this season to evaluate those players,&#8221; MacMahon wrote. &#8220;The Jazz are also expected to be active in the trade market with veterans such as\u00a0John Collins,\u00a0Jordan Clarkson, and Collin\u00a0Sexton available for the right deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Miami&#8217;s front office could start fresh once again in their hunt to find a stable point guard by acquiring Sexton. A package centered around Rozier and draft capital should entice Utah enough to get the deal done.<\/p>\n<p>He is averaging an impressive 16.9 points and 3.2 assists on 48.2 percent shooting and 42.7 percent from three-point range. Coach Erik Spoelstra would likely call for the 25-year-old to take on a greater playmaking role.<\/p>\n<p>Still, what he lacks in the playmaking department, he makes up for with his tenacious defense. It&#8217;s safe to say Sexton would fit the mold of a &#8216;Heat Culture&#8217; player much better than Rozier has.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Miami Heat need to find a better fit in the backcourt next to Tyler Herro if contending for a championship is their plan for the season&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8399,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING: Miami Heat Could Target &#039;Available&#039;
