Miami joins 'King of Interest'

According to reports, interest in Makanen is enormous this offseason, and the Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs have recently shown interest in the Miami Heat.
The hot offseason seems to be coming to an end. Now, attention is being paid to the trade. The most representative player is Makanen. Makanen is Utah's ace and is an all-star forward.
Makanen was in full swing for Utah after playing for the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers. Utah chose Makanen as the new face of the franchise, trading Donovan Mitchell. With Utah's overwhelming support, Makanen grew into an all-star.
In the 2022-2023 season, which was his first season with Utah, he averaged 25.6 points and 8.6 rebounds. He averaged 14.8 points and 5.7 rebounds in the 2021-2022 season for Cleveland. Of course, Makanen won the 2022-2023 Season Skills Development Award and was honored to be named the first All-Star in his career.
And in the 2023-2024 season, he averaged 23.2 points and 8.2 rebounds, establishing himself as a top forward resource.
Naturally, Utah will want to catch these Makanen. The problem is that Makanen will be an FA after the 2024-2025 season. There is no news that Makanen and Utah are making progress on an extension. That's why Makanen's trade rumors are coming out.
All the teams that are aiming for are in need of Makanen. Golden State, which failed to recruit Paul George, unconditionally needs to reinforce its forward. As long as it missed George, there is no such thing as Makanen for sale. Sacramento also wants to steadily strengthen its forward position since last season. It tried to recruit Pascal Siakam and OG Anunobi, but all failed. The situation is a little different for San Antonio. As Victor Wembanyama's partner, Makanen is excellent, but he is a little relaxed because he is not in the power to try to win the championship right away.
Miami, which has been rumored to be new, is in dire need of Makanen. Miami had a disappointing season, dropping out of the first round of the 2023-2024 playoffs. Major players such as Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Tyler Hiro are in good shape, but it's time for a change. Miami has gone more than three years without much change.
On top of that, 3&D forward resources such as Caleb Martin and Haywood Highsmith became FA this offseason. There is no news that he will leave the team yet, but he is likely to leave due to the salary cap situation. Miami may not be able to advance to the playoffs next season without reinforcing its power. 토토사이트 추천
Makanen is a tall forward with good 3-pointers, i.e. Butler and Adebayo could be the best partners. Miami's problem in the 2023-2024 season was defense, not offense. Makanen can be seen as the right person to solve this.
