10, when the two will pick between a pool the 22 other All-Stars that includes the Miami’s lone representative in Jimmy Butler. The NBA All-Star Draft between LeBron James and Kevin Durant - the two captains - isn’t until Thursday, Feb. This will be time in Spoelstra’s career when he’s coached the All-Star game, his first coming in 2012-13 - becoming the first Heat head coach in franchise history to accomplish such a feat. With Miami’s 104-86 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday coupled with the Chicago Bulls’ 119-108 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday, the Heat (34-20) leaped the Bulls, who now sit a half-game back at 33-20, in the standings. 20 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio. But also Wade just so happens to be a minority owner of the Jazz, so Mitchell might not want to leave because of that.By virtue of ending up as the Eastern Conference’s top-seed through Sunday, Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra will coach Team Durant in the 2022 NBA All-Star game that will be played on Sunday, Feb. Plus, Pat Riley would certainly do what is necessary to land Mitchell. Mitchell has been compared to Wade and has talked about how much he has affected his game and his life. And if he does, then everyone seems to agree on where he would want to go: the Miami Heat.ĭonovan Mitchell grew up a Heat fan and idolized Dwyane Wade. If they are true though, then Mitchell could be looking to get out of Salt Lake City. Mitchell has insisted that they are fine and that those reports aren’t true. The biggest ones have been about the tensions between him and fellow Jazz superstar Rudy Gobert. There have been reports about him being unhappy in Utah since last season. Donovan Mitchell is easily the biggest name in this group. Report: Donovan Mitchell’s relationship with Rudy Gobert is back to being ‘passively aggressively awkward’: ‘There’s some drama here’ I have no idea if the Clippers will sell off some assets at the deadline, but if they do, Batum is a good candidate to be dealt. Batum is still a good player that could help any team. He was just one of the beneficiaries of that 2016 summer when the cap numbers went up and the money had to be given to someone. Granted his production did fall off in his last year and a half there. No, he didn’t necessarily deserve his $20+ million per year contract, but it’s not like he was bad, he still put in some good seasons.
I never really understood all the hate that Nicolas Batum got while he was with the Hornets. One of my colleagues has suggested they could deal him though. Washington is a young player on a young team, so I don’t know if he’ll be dealt either. Despite coming off the bench he is still playing 24 minutes per game, yet has still been disappointing. But this year has been a bit disappointing and he has come off the bench in all but four of the games that he has played in. He had a good first two seasons, started all but four of the games that he played in. Washington’s situation is very similar to Hachimura’s.

MIAMI HEAT BASKETBALL SCHEDULE 2022 UPGRADE
Every team could use an upgrade if the player(s) fit. So they do not really need to make any moves at the Trade Deadline on Thursday,but they still could. They also have Victor Oladipo who is expected to make his season debut within the next month or two. That’s a lot of missed time yet the Heat are STILL on top. Bam Adebayo has missed 25 games, Jimmy Butler has missed 19 games, and Kyle Lowry has missed 13 games. But they have done it with their best players missing a lot of time. They have been very impressive this season, especially against the league’s other top teams. The Miami Heat are currently sitting atop the Eastern Conference with a record of 35-20.
