If the Heat would truly be interested in Andre Drummond if he was bought out, that would be one of the biggest pickups they can make. The Heat will need to be active on the trade market and buyout market if they want to truly contend this season. There are still many hurdles because Gay isn’t going to fix the team.
It’s clear the Miami Heat need some help at the power forward position, which is what I touched on in a previous piece, so it would make sense that the team is looking at Gay or possibly his teammate LaMarcus Aldridge. Maybe, the Heat don’t feel the same way, but that’s what makes sense from an outside viewpoint when you are looking at the trade. The deal can be done without Okpala, but if there are other teams involved, it would look to be okay to have him included.
