The Miami Heat finally were able to get their first win of the season after starting 0-4, but that doesn't mean all of their problems have disappeared. It's obvious that scoring is going to come hard for them on most nights, and it wouldn't be a surprise if they made a trade at some point. The one name that continues to pop up is Kyrie Irving, who is currently with a young team that's semi-rebuilding in the Dallas Mavericks.
Irving wouldn't mind a trade, but it doesn't look like the Heat are pressing the issue at the moment, according to Ethan Skolnick of 5ReasonsSports.
“I think we’ve both heard he’s interested in playing down in Miami. I also know Spoelstra holds him in very high regard,” Skolnick said. “All indications are this is a place he’d be comfortable. My thought is, I don’t think anything is imminent. I think the Heat are going to let this play out a little bit and see if Larsson can make the leap and what Conwell can eventually give us in the rotation.”
There are many people who think Irving would be a nice fit with the Heat, and he instantly gives them the scoring they need at the guard position. Even if it's not Irving, many still believe that the Heat need to make a deal to improve their roster, and one of them is Tracy McGrady.

They don’t have enough scoring; they don’t have shooting. I think they’re gonna make some moves before the deadline to improve this team,” McGrady said.
It'll be interesting to see if the Heat eventually make a trade at some point, and if it's for Irving.
