Let’s not forget that the Heat had that crazy 30-11 2nd half run after Winslow went out for the season with the shoulder surgery.

I like Winslow, but its easy to understand why the Heat felt it was ok to move him.

If they had traded for Gallo ...it would have been a crazy trade deadline for them....

We did ok.
Moved 3 players who werent playing.
Kept all our young assets.
Got better for the rest of this season.
Kept our cap space for 2021.

The Andre Iguodala sweepstakes was one of the biggest storylines heading into the deadline, and the Heat came away as big winners. They traded away a promising, if oft-injured, young player in Winslow, but they ended up with Iguodala, a veteran wing who not only helps in the locker room on a young team (Warriors coach Steve Kerr used to call Iguodala "the babysitter" in Golden State) but also provides wing depth and an elite defender to throw at Eastern Conference perimeter threats like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Pascal Siakam, Jayson Tatum and Victor Oladipo. If that weren't enough, the Heat also add Crowder, a useful 3-and-D wing (though his shooting has waned in recent years) with valuable playoff experience.

This trade takes on added significance because it also sets the Heat up for future transactions. They shed the bloated contracts of Johnson and Waiters, which frees up cap space, and the second year of Iguodala's $30 million extension has a team option in case the Heat can court one of the coveted 2021 free agents. This trade allows the Heat to not only contend this season, but also to become even more powerful over the next two seasons. For that, it's the most significant trade of the deadline. And for what it's worth, Winslow is a nice piece to add to a young, up-and-coming Grizzlies team that's way ahead of schedule.

With all due respect. Iggy is not an elite defender anymore.
He is 36. Well past his prime.
He is a decent pickup sure but it doesnt move the needle that much

So to recap, the Heat, who had no cap space heading into last summer added: Butler, AI, Crowder and Hill at the expense of Whiteside, Dion, JJ and wheelchair Winslow.

My post was a copy/paste from CBS, not my words.
I guess we’ll see what he has left in the tank.
If nothing else, he’s fresh and well rested.

He is a way better defender than every perimeter except butler and it isn't close. It obviously helps for those who know how poor the perimeter defense been this year

And he isn't here for offense. Provide solid perimeter defense and make smart/winning plays. That is all

Also Crowder is a better defender than all of our perimeter guys excluding butler as well. Miami improved the perimeter defense which was a major problem.
