In light of the recent PHX rumors, here’s the most likely trade. What we think?

    That is a trade with assets moved for other assets.

    I’m happy – heat fans won’t be but fuck em.

  3. Vfbcollins

    So Miami doesn’t have enough assets to satisfy the Blazers, but now they have enough assets to satisfy the Blazers and Phoenix?

    I think Suns & Heat do this trade but idk about Portland, they end up over the tax so maybe they send out a filler contract elsewhere like KJ idk

    That’s about as good as one could realistically expect, I’d say. Ayton is just a better fit with the young core than Nurk. Dame gets his wish and we get a flyer on a couple decent young prospects and some pics. Can’t complain too much, personally.

  6. user72887

    Man all these trades look so much better with Ayton involved

  7. Why would suns do this tho? Serious question

  8. peakchungus

    I like it, I think JJJ is a decent prospect at SF and Ayton could be very solid with a coach who believes in him.

    Scoot/Sharpe/JJJ/Grant/Ayton would be an Uber athletic core with tons of potential and switch ability on D.

  9. FullAutoLuxPosadism

    This is probably it. There might be a stray player here and there sent out.

    Herro is getting moved lol come on now.

    I don’t think PHX is quite getting enough but I think it’s mostly fair.

    Depends if PHX wants an actual return or is focused on getting cap relief.

  11. DrinkingainteasyTJ

    GOD YES PLEASE DO THIS FOR US ALLLL

  12. homersolo

    So we’d trade Caleb and Nurk for Ayton? Pass.

  13. Chrondezzy

    Replace Martin with Herro and pick then maybe

  14. OKCDraftPick2028

    lmao, Heat got dame without trading Herro.

    Riley won this lol

  15. Miami is not getting Dame without giving up Herro. Herro would be more likely to go to PHX with Nurk.

  16. saturnzebra

    This actually looks pretty realistic, although I can’t help but think they would want to lump Lillard with at least one other player.

  17. FlashDWade

    Unfortunately Portland not even anything close to that. Riley will fleece hard watch

  18. Are we sure Ayton is that valuable ? Like he has under performed his potential pretty substantially since the 2021 playoffs. He clashes with a unanimously loved coach in Monty, he pouts about touches, and hasn’t developed as a scorer in the ways people thought he would. Idk he doesn’t seem like a winner long term. Hope I’m wrong and he’s good on defense sometimes, could be a good PnR partner with scoot if he’s willing to not post up as much.

    Love it but does it piss Miami fans off enough?

  20. SexDefender27

    Looks pretty perfect. heat deserve a little tiny kitty bitty bit more, but otherwise this is a great deal.

  21. n0th1ng10

    Idk u think heat will give up the young players, picks and Caleb Martin? They really won’t have much wing depth at all.

  22. LordTemp1

    Don’t see how losing Jovic and Jaime Jaquez Jr that are on such favorable deals will help the heat… there are other superstars that they can nab that fills the Lillard cost. I doubt the trade looks anything like this. You really think Lowry Jacquez jr Jovic Caleb Martin and four picks is net worth of Lillard , your smoking something good

  23. Does this include Herro getting rerouted somewhere else?

  24. BowserBuddy123

    As a Heat fan, duck that. My god. We’d be fleeced.

    Edit: well, we’d be keeping Highsmith, so perhaps okay.
