ARIZA ADDED BY THE HEAT Wednesday, March 17, 2021
The Miami Heat acquired forward Trevor Ariza from the Sacramento Kings for center Meyers Leonard and a second-round draft pick in 2027.
What does it give the Miami Heat?
For Miami, this deal is a no-brainer. Adding Ariza to the team's bench as a swingman could help them down the stretch. Furthermore, subtracting Leonard (who recently got into hot water for a social media post) can also be considered a win here.
What does it give the Sacramento Kings?
The Kings basically took anything they could for Ariza, who refused to play for them since he was acquired from Detroit in 2020. Leonard needs a clean slate and to move forward, but it remains to be seen if he will get much playing time in Sacramento.
Fantasy Impact
Both Ariza and Leonard are non-recommendable fantasy options at this point. Neither player should be picked up.
