Heat Predicted To Send $199 Million Star Duo To Lakers In Bizarre Trade For LeBron James

Alternatively, Powell and Wiggins could remain in Miami long-term if an unanticipated level of success arises. This is the route Heavy bizarrely predicts the Heat could take in a proposed deal sending Powell, Wiggins, and Kel'el Ware to the Los Angeles Lakers for LeBron James.

Former Miami Heat Center Could Seek Reunion in Free Agency



The Miami Heat made a couple of changes to their roster, with the acquisition of Norman Powell in a three-team blockbuster deal and Simone Fontecchio from the Duncan Robinson sign-and-trade with the Detroit Pistons.
