#2 Wayne Ellington

Wayne Ellington signed with the Miami Heat back in 2016, and he has since spent two years being deployed as a sharpshooter from the bench. In this role, Ellington was able to average at least 10 points per game in his first two seasons in Miami, although the 31-year-old has only appeared in one of the Heat's last ten games.

Ellington has also played in just 20 games for the Heat this season, and he is seemingly out of the team's rotation. Ellington's three-year deal will also expire in the summer, and the lack of available sharpshooters around the league may mean that teams are willing to offer a good package for the veteran.

Ultimately, the Miami Heat have been better without Ellington in the rotation, and the guard still has plenty to offer to a playoff contending team. A trade would suit both parties.
