In a move that takes the team below the punitive NBA luxury tax, the Miami Heat are trading forward Haywood Highsmith and a 2032 second-round draft choice to the Brooklyn Nets.

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.
