The Heat are looking to acquire a point guard through a trade.

Portland signed Andre Miller this offseason and has Jerryd Bayless are their expected point guard of the future, which may make Steve Blake the odd man out.

Miami has a $4 million trade exception from the Jermaine O'Neal deal that would make dealing for Blake easier.

The belief is that Blake would be an upgrade offer Mario Chalmers and Chris Quinn.
