The Miami Heat are facing a challenging road in the 2024 NBA Playoffs without their star player, Jimmy Butler. The absence of Butler has prompted the team to prioritize acquiring an All-Star caliber player in the upcoming offseason. NBA insiders suggest that the Heat may pursue Donovan Mitchell or Brandon Ingram, both of whom fit the timeline of Bam Adebayo. Ingram, a former All-Star and Most Improved Player award winner, would provide the Heat with a long-term building block and insurance for Butler’s health concerns.

Tyrese Maxey has been recognized as the NBA’s Most Improved Player for the 2022-23 season. The Philadelphia 76ers guard saw significant strides in his performance, averaging 25.9 points, 6.2 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game. Despite receiving more playing time, Maxey’s efficiency improved remarkably, showcasing his dedication and hard work.

The Chicago Cubs have designated veteran infielder Garrett Cooper for assignment, making way for exciting young prospect Matt Mervis. Cooper, an All-Star with the Miami Marlins in 2022, had a solid start with the Cubs, hitting .270 with a .774 OPS in 12 games. However, with the return of Patrick Wisdom and the presence of other capable hitters, Cooper became expendable. Mervis, a promising lefty hitter, will join Michael Busch as another left-handed option in the lineup and brings a high upside after posting a .904 OPS in the minors.
