5. Chris Andersen
Chris Andersen remains the best and most likely Heat player to actually be traded by the deadline.
Despite the fact that he’s 36 years of age, “Birdman” remains a coveted piece for title-contending teams. His ability to impact a game with his energy and ability to blocks shots are rare traits that not many players possess.
Because of Hassan Whiteside’s emergence and a plethora of big men on the free agent market in Amar’e Stoudemire, Samuel Dalembert and Andray Blatche, Andersen becomes an expendable piece for a Heat team that isn’t in title contention this season.
By trading “Birdman,” the Heat will increase their chances of getting a decent point guard, a prospect or even a draft pick in return.
