You can’t usually get traded mid-season in NBA 2K26 MyCareer. The workable path is to finish your first season, enter the offseason, then choose a new team in free agency after talking to Xander/MyCourt.

What to do

  • Play through your rookie season with the Heat.
  • Simulate the rest if you want to speed things up.
  • Finish the offseason.
  • Choose the team you want instead of Miami.

Important catch

  • You generally cannot request a normal trade during the season.
  • Some guides say you also need to clear a certain number of key games before the offseason option appears.
  • Switching teams can reset Dynasty progress, so it’s not just a simple trade request.

For the Heat specifically

If you want out of Miami fast, the quickest route is usually:

  1. Finish the current season.
  2. Skip or simulate as much as possible.
  3. Trigger the offseason.
  4. Pick a new team in free agency.

TL;DR

In MyCareer, the game mostly makes you wait until the offseason to leave the Heat, not trade out immediately.
