How the Heat could make Jermaine O'Neal's season even better
By trying to get the guy shown above.
Reports have been all around rumor websites and sports sections of newspapers about a possible trade for the Heat picking up Andrew Bogut.
You may ask, why would the Heat do this? Don't they already have two capable players down low in Haslem and JO?
Well, yes they do, but with this trade, they could have a dynamic front court. Not only will they have Michael Beasley at Small Forward, Jermaine O'Neal can move to his natural position of Power Forward while Andrew Bogut goes into Center. That could make Jermaine even deadlier against smaller power forwards, and it will make teams think twice before double teaming him.
The only downside about a possible trade to acquire Bogut is that they will for sure have to get rid of Udonis Haslem. They will be losing a lot of heart in Haslem, but they hope maybe they could re sign him in the off season. They will also have to give up either Daequan Cook or James Jones along with Haslem. The Heat will also have to take on Jodie Meeks, Walter Sharpe, or Joe Alexander for the contracts to work out.
The main reason why this trade may go down is because the Bucks currently have Andrew Bogut coming off the bench, and he is very upset about that.
"I feel as if the Bucks are not using me properly. I feel I can be an elite big in this league, but they have not given me an opportunity to show it."
He isn't the only young player to think this, rookie Jodie Meeks has already demanded for a trade from the Bucks. He currently sits 3rd on the depth chart for the Bucks behind Michael Redd and Charlie Bell.
Bogut, the number one pick in the 2005 NBA draft, has a career average of 11.6 points per game, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks a game while shooting .538 percent from the field and has a career average of 32.6 minutes per game. He is averaging 6 points per game, 7 rebounds, and just under a block a game in his 18 minutes of playing time he is receiving.
