The Miami Heat trade Daequan Cook to the Thunder

The Heat have traded 23-year old shooting guard Daequan Cook and the #18 overall pick in tonight’s draft for the #32 overall pick. This move was made to save money to spend on free agency starting next weekend. Cook played in 45 games (3 starts) for the Heat last season and he averaged 15.4 minutes, 5.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game despite only shooting 32% from the floor. He played in 179 games (26 starts) in his three years with the Heat and he averaged 22.2 minutes, 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Cook only shot 36.8% from the floor with the Heat and 35.8% from three point range. The Heat won’t miss Cook too much.
