Miami Heat insider says team’s Big 3 is ‘unlikely’ to be broken up before deadline
The Miami Heat’s star trio of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro seems likely to remain intact through the upcoming trade deadline, as one team insider sees it. The Heat struck a deal with the Charlotte Hornets last month for veteran guard Terry Rozier. It’s not too late for Miami to make another trade, but if that happens, it likely won’t involve any members of the squad’s Big 3.
Bill Simmons wants Miami Heat to trade Tyler Herro and 1st-rounder for DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso
The NBA trade deadline is near, leaving teams like the Miami Heat with a limited amount of time to make some noise before the clock runs out.

Report: Miami Heat will explore Caleb Martin trade market
Per a recent report, the Miami Heat will explore the possibility of dealing Caleb Martin with the Feb. 8 trade deadline just a few days away. “All I’ve heard is that they’re gonna try and find a location,” Matt Moore said. “They’ll explore the market for him. The key here is, and I got banged up a little bit on a report a couple of weeks ago with the [New Orleans] Pelicans where it’s important to establish the distinction between shopping and exploring the market. And the distinction there is that, if you’re shopping a guy, you’re actively like, ‘I would like for this player to not be on my roster by the end of the year.’ Whether it’s for contract or positional, there’s a lot of reasons for that. But — you are actively like, ‘My preference would be otherwise.’ Exploring the market is like, ‘Let’s take a look and see what the options are here because the money is gonna be significant.’ I would say that there is a sense from other teams that have talked to Miami that shedding salary seems to be a larger priority than maybe they were — they originally thought, that maybe that this team is looking to trim up things pretty significantly.”

NBA source on Miami Heat’s deadline plans: ‘No one knows what the hell Miami is going to do’
According to one NBA source, the jury is still out on what exactly the Miami Heat’s plans are for the trade deadline, which is on Feb. 8. “[Kelly] Olynyk, in particular, is highly sought after in the market,” Action Network’s Matt Moore wrote. “He’s a backup center in a market in which everyone wants size help for the playoffs who can also shoot, pass and defend. Miami has shown interest in Olynyk in the past, though with their recent seven-game slide, one source said, ‘No one knows what the hell Miami is going to do in the next week, as much as we know what any team will do.'”

So for us, it’s not letting go of the rope.”
