The Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets have reportedly finalized a trade.
ESPN’s Shams Charania was the first to report the deal.
“The Miami Heat have traded Haywood Highsmith and a 2032 second-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for a protected 2026 second-round pick, sources tell ESPN,” Charania posted to X .
“Brooklyn has remained active in trade conversations as the league’s only team with remaining significant cap space, and takes Highsmith in with an unprotected second-rounder,” Charania continued . “Nets have also acquired two 1sts this offseason to add to the most 1st and 2nd round picks in the league … Heat shed Highsmith’s salary to lessen their salary bill. Nets send Miami a 2026 second-rounder that is protected 31-55.”
Highsmith, 28, is set to earn $5.6 million in 2025-26 before
