1 Dream, 1 Reach and 1 Realistic Offseason Target for the Miami Heat
Summertime for the Miami Heat is whale-hunting season. Even as Pat Riley and Co. have struck out on potential deals for Damian Lillard, Kevin Durant and Donovan Mitchell over the years, they make sure they are at least mentioned as a landing spot for almost every disgruntled star on the move.
This summer will be no different. Already the Heat have been linked to Mitchell and figure to factor in rumors for other stars who could be traded.
But if the Heat have learned anything, it’s that simply being mentioned as a destination means nothing. Dreams for Lillard, Durant and Mitchell were all dashed for various reasons.
What Miami didn’t have last summer, as it waited on a resolution on Lillard, was a backup plan. And so the Heat ran back their roster and toiled through a disappointing season that ended with a quick first-round exit after 2023’s Finals run.
The Heat need to make improvements to the roster and this summer’s most obvious target is likely Mitchell. But what are some other, perhaps more realistic options the Heat could acquire if Mitchell resigns with the Cleveland Cavaliers or is traded elsewhere?
Because we’ve covered Mitchell so much here already, we’re going to explore some other names the Heat could pursue. Let’s look at one dream offseason target for the Heat, another target who may be out of their budget and a realistic acquisition to help fill a team need.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.

Three people were hurt after a building caught fire on Lincoln Road on Sunday, according to authorities.
The Miami Beach Fire Department said it was working a fire near 230 Lincoln Road.
The flames had spread from a fire in a manhole that “ignited an FPL vault of an adjacent building,” officials said.
Three people were taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center with minor injuries.
The building was evacuated, and FPL has shut off power to the surrounding area, the fire department said.
Drivers were asked to avoid the area of Collins Avenue between 16th and 17th streets while crews worked the scene.
