The Miami Heat have found some life over the last few games, but it still feels like they need to add some more scoring power to their team. It's why Kyrie Irving's name continues to be connected to them, but it's uncertain if the Dallas Mavericks are willing to trade him. In the event that they don't, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints suggested another guard who the Heat could be interested in.

“One name that keeps coming up in conversations around the league is Ty Jerome. He's in the final year of his contract, and he's going to opt out of his $9.6 million player option next offseason to become an unrestricted free agent, but he's going to have plenty of suitors,” Siegel said on Clutch Scoops at the 42:30 mark. “The Grizzlies may not be able to afford to keep him on a new long-term deal, and the one team I'm keeping an eye on that needs backcourt help, and they could be in the market for a player like Ty Jerome, who has experience both coming off the bench and being in the starting lineup and scoring. Keep an eye on the Miami Heat there.

“We've heard a lot about them being in the market for stars. They're monitoring Kyrie Irving; they're monitoring other star point guards. Maybe they could save themselves a lot of stress and a lot of money by going after a guy who's putting up just as good numbers as Ty Jerome.”

Jerome has had a strong start to the season, as he's already posted two 40-point games for the Grizzlies. If he continues this scoring run, it wouldn't be a surprise if several teams were looking to trade for him at some point this season.

The Heat could be one of those teams, and they should be if they can't land Irving.
