Proposed Heat trade for Kawhi Leonard would do more damage than good

The Miami Heat would be foolish to pull the trigger on a proposed trade (by Bleacher Report) for Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. While it may seem tempting on paper, it would certainly do much more long-term damage than short-term good.

In a vacuum, reshuffling this currently flawed Heat roster into a core of Kawhi, Harden, Kel'el Ware, Norman Powell, and Bam Adebayo may seem great and appealing And if things would theoretically fall in that team's favor, it could even lead to them making a lot of noise in the Eastern Conference.

However, this is a trade that would be extremely short-sighted and one that could end up hurting the Heat in the long run.
