Bojan Bogdanovic to the Miami Heat: Doesn't make sense

I've seen the Miami Heat connected to Bogdanovic in trade rumors which makes less sense.

This one could have worked out in the offseason before we knew Duncan Robinson was going to have a rebirth this year. A Robinson for Bogdanovic trade would have worked out great for the Pistons in retrospect, but it didn't happen and now Miami has little else the Pistons would want.

If you threw in Monte Morris, the combined salaries would match that of Kyle Lowry, who is on an expiring deal.

But what could Miami do to sweeten the pot? They can't trade their 2024 pick, so the best the Heat could do would be a couple of second-rounders or a first-round pick in 2027 at the earliest, which doesn't much help the Pistons.

Heat fans love these rumors, but I'd rather just keep Bogdanovic than have half a season of Lowry and a bunch of useless second-round picks.
