The Miami Heat are interested in dealing from an excess of big men to get guard help for Dwyane Wade, who continues dealing with knee issues that are keeping him from playing in back-to-back games, ESPN.com reported.
Joel Anthony is one of those that the Heat are dangling as trade bait. Anthony was a spare part for the Heat last season and his role has diminished even further this season. He’s sat out the last five games.
Miami’s upcoming schedule features six back-to-back contests over the next six weeks, and the Heat have not settled on a starter for when Wade misses action. Last year, Mike Miller was largely Wade’s stand-in, but he’s now with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Without Wade in the lineup, the Heat are 2-3.
