• Blazers not only get 4 1sts, pick swaps & 2 young players but also a quality starting center replacing Nurkic. They can later flip Ayton if need be for assets or keep him since he’s still young
• Suns get two solid players & more importantly end up below the 2nd apron. Royce helps with their defensive issues as well & Nurk is a solid center at a price that’s much better having over aytons remaining salary
• Nets get wiggle room for cap space in the future/next season when it’s time to resign/extend Claxton & extend Mikal as opposed to getting rid of Dinwiddies expiring, this also allows them to give more minutes to Clowney & Whitehead
• Miami gets the point guard that they have been needing to finally move the needle & get Jimmy Butler true help offensively & they get a great defensive 4 next to Bam Adebayo

One of Jaime or Jovic should stay. But outside of that, I don’t see who gets too royally screwed here
If you flip Royce O’Neal and DFS, Heat can also keep lowry because O’Neal fits in a TPE for Miami.
We keep Jovic or Jaquez
What do the sun’s get out if this
Edit: as in why would the sun’s do this for a such a low return on ayton?
Suns just giving away Ayton?
Now, this is a trade I can get behind. Ayton is a solid young asset that can be used right away or get traded for more assets.
Swap Royce O’Neale and DFS. Suns need a PF bad. And if they’re losing a Center like Ayton they’d want a DFS.
Losing, Lowry, Herro, Jaquez, Jovic, and 4 FRP’s for Dame is a disgusting overpay
edit: also, DFS fell off the guy is a worse defender than Highsmith and only shoots 35 or 36% from deep
The last playoffs were one of the most fun I’ve had watching the Heat. They can keep Dame if it takes Jovic, jjj, Hero, and 4 1sts. The dude’s 33 years old.
Nets wash
I agree with ppl saying swap DFS for O’Neale. Also we can’t trade our 26 1st-rd pick unfortunately
And gamble our future? That’s a hard no. Don’t forget that our culture is till there, we got JJ and Jovic that can help Adebayo and Herro is going to be a runner up for MIP. Don’t get me wrong Dame in our team is huuge but at what cost?
Take Jovic out of there 👿
Horrible trade for suns
Finney smith is my favorite role player in the league not on the heat so I love this for that, but this gives up our entire future and REALLY banks that we can find a ton more diamonds in the rough, and develop them into team leading players
Suns would not do this
The suns are just downgrading no way they’re saying yes lmfao.
JJJ, Jovic, and Herro plus all those picks?!?!?!? Nah. That’s waaaaaay too much. Rather run it back and trust in Herro. Let the Portland deal with a disgruntled star.
Why would u give up that nut of your future ?
