Is Dillon Brooks A Good Fit For Miami Heat?

The Miami Heat are locked in a tough series against the New York Knicks but that hasn't stopped the offseason trade and free agency speculation from circulating.

The Heat were recently linked with Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks. The team has already said the plan is to part ways with Brooks this summer, placing him on the free agent list.

SI.com NBA writer Chris Mannix said Brooks makes a perfect fit for the Heat.

“Every time you see kind of Duncan Robinson running around there defensively or Tyler Herro before him, you know they could use a defensive-minded wing [such as Dillon Brooks]," Mannix said on The Bill Simmons podcast. "And I could see him [Brooks] finding his way down there and the Heat being aggressive and trying to get a guy at a relatively bargain basement price. That, to me, that feels like a frontrunner right now."

Brooks became the talk of the postseason when he quarreled with LeBron James during their first-round series. After a Game 2 victory, Brooks referred to James as "old." James and the Los Angeles Lakers then went onto to upset the No. 2-seeded Grizzlies in six games.
