Damian Lillard requested a trade to the Miami Heat. However, the organization wasn’t able to offer the best package for the Portland Trail Blazers’ star guard. Could they try acquiring another star guard from another NBA team this season? If they do, here are the 4-star guard the Heat should consider to trade for.
4 Guards the Miami Heat Should Target Next
The Heat can trade for different star guards from different teams. Jrue Holiday from the Trail Blazers, Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls, DeMar DeRozan from the Bulls, and Trae Young from the Atlanta Hawks could be Heat’s potential target. Here are the trade scenarios for all the star guards the Heat could try to acquire.
1. Miami Heat to Trade for Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls
Potential Trade Proposal:
- The Heat will receive Zach LaVine and Dalen Terry.
- The Chicago Bulls will receive Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic, and a 2024 First Round Draft Pick in exchange.
LaVine is one of the top scorers in the league. Moreover, he is just 28 years old and has great stats. The Bulls shooting guard signed a 5-year contract with the Chicago Bulls for a whopping $215.2 million in July 2022.

2. Miami Heat to Trade for Jrue Holiday from the Portland Trail Blazers

- The Chicago Bulls will receive Tyler Herro, Caleb Martin, a 2024 First Round Draft Pick, a 2026 First Round Draft Pick, and a 2027 First Round Draft Pick.

Potential Trade Proposal:
- The Chicago Bulls will receive Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., a 2024 First Round Draft Pick, and a 2028 First Round Draft Pick.

4. Miami Heat to Trade for Trae Young from the Atlanta Hawks
Potential Trade Proposal:
- The Miami Heat will receive Trae Young.
- The Atlanta Hawks will receive Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, a 2024 First Round Draft Pick, a 2026 First Round Draft Pick, a 2026 Second Round Draft Pick, and a 2027 First Round Draft Pick.
