The Miami Heat are one win away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals. They completely dismantled the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 5 of their semifinal series, 120-85. The Heat will look to get back to the conference finals for the second time in the last three seasons in Game 6 back in Philadelphia Thursday night.
The Heat roster is filled with excellent defenders, but still lacks a powerful scoring punch at guard. Well, next season, that issue very possibly could be solved.
Utah Jazz All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell reportedly has the Miami Heat as one of his top destinations to be traded:

According to Sports Illustrated, the Heat and the Atlanta Hawks are two teams that interest Mitchell. The Jazz guard has reportedly had issues with the team's center, Rudy Gobert, on and off for quite some time. After another early exit from the playoffs, it's very possible the Jazz look to move their All-Star guard.
The Heat currently have Kyle Lowry at point guard and start Max Strus at shooting guard. Strus is a pretty good defensive player, but lacks the ability to take over a game. Lowry is long in the tooth and is currently injured. He missed Game 5 vs. the Sixers after re-aggravating his hamstring injury he suffered in the first round.
Could you imagine a starting five of Kyle Lowry, Donovan Mitchell, Jimmy Butler, P.J. Tucker and Bam Adebayo? Well, apparently Mitchell has been picturing it.
Until then, though, the Heat will clearly be focused on winning another NBA title.
