Following the 2024 Olympics, all the talk was centered around superstars LeBron James and Stephen Curry but a player has also slipped into the news: Anthony Edwards. The superstar shooting guard had a solid Olympics in a supplementary role, averaging 12.8 points and 2.8 rebounds per game on 58.0% from the field and 48.0% from three.
However, despite Edwards’ strong performances coming off a strong season where he led the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals, there is some news that the Miami Heat could be a potential landing spot for the superstar.

Miami Heat Receive: Anthony Edwards
Minnesota Timberwolves Receive: Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr, Josh Richardson, Haywood Highsmith, Nikola Jovic, 2029 First Round Pick
This trade would shake up both conferences in the NBA during the 2024-25 season and here is the breakdown of this blockbuster deal if Anthony Edwards would ever decide to force his way out of Minnesota to join the Miami Heat.
Miami Heat Build A Dominant Superteam
By acquiring Anthony Edwards, the Miami Heat would catapult themselves into the realm of NBA superteams. Edwards, who averaged 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game during the 2023-24 season, has proven himself as one of the league’s brightest young stars. His ability to take over games with explosive scoring, combined with his elite athleticism, would complement Jimmy Butler’s gritty, all-around play and Bam Adebayo’s defensive prowess.
The Heat, known for their defensive tenacity under head coach Erik Spoelstra, would now also possess a lethal offensive weapon who can score at all three levels, making them a nightmare for opposing defenses. In addition to his scoring, Edwards would bring much-needed youth and energy to a Heat team that has often relied on the veteran leadership of Butler. At just 23 years old, Edwards is already an established star, and his ceiling remains incredibly high. His playoff experience with the Timberwolves, where he led them to the Western Conference Finals, showed his ability to perform on the biggest stage.
