That enticed the Miami Heat to send fourth-year guard Steve Smith and forward Grant Long to the Hawks in exchange for Willis, mostly because then-Miami General Manager Kevin Loughery was desperate to replace Rony Seikaly as Miami’s center.
But during his two years in Miami, Willis wasn’t quite the same player that he was in Atlanta. Meanwhile, Smith went on to become one of the more promising scorers in the NBA.
