2. Another Creator To Take Pressure Off Of Jimmy Butler

Another major need for the Heat if they want to compete for a championship would be taking pressure off of Jimmy Butler. At this point in time, Butler is one of the only creators on the team. Goran Dragic can fill that role off the bench, but Jrue Holiday would be exactly what Butler needs in the starting lineup.

Imagine defenses having to contain both Butler and Holiday. That would be a nearly impossible task.

Holiday would be able to create his own shots, while also making his teammates better around him. If the Heat could pull off a trade for him, they would immediately become one of the NBA’s elite. It won’t be cheap, but getting another creator never is.
