Are the Miami Heat looking to pluck away a young forward from an Eastern Conference rival?
Well, it appears they might be! According to Heat insider Greg Sylvander of the Five Reasons Sports Network, the Heat are “honed in” on Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams as a possible trade candidate, with the Feb. 9 NBA Trade Deadline over two months away.
Sylvander’s report comes mere hours after Miami split its two-game set at Boston, in which Williams had 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting with four 3s in the latter affair. Williams, who just turned 24 on Wednesday, is averaging 9.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in 28.5 minutes with the Celtics this season.
