Should Miami Heat, Pat Riley trade out of NBA draft?


Q: With the fifteenth pick in the upcoming draft, should the Heat be looking for a particular position player or the best available talent regardless of position? I’m sure the Heat scouts and brain trust are looking at players who they feel can fall to fifteen and undervalued by other teams. What are the chances of picking someone and then trading him for a predetermined return?  – Ronald, Margate.

A: I’m not sure I even would go that deep. If the Heat could draft for another team and instead add one or two future picks, I think that would be the way to go. With Jamie Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jovic, there already is youth to develop. But if the Heat replenish their supply of picks, they then would not be hamstrung when it comes to the NBA rules limiting being without first-round picks in successive future seasons.
