The Heat are not interested in offering all seven of their assets for Damian Lillard, per @flasportsbuzz. Those assets include: – Three first-round picks – Tyler Herro – Nikola Jovic – Caleb Martin – Jaime Jaquez Jr. “The Heat isn’t believed to be offering even close to all seven of those assets.”

Sigh
Bad news Barry strikes again
Honestly even with all seven of those assets multiple teams can outbid. Herro is redundant in Portland, those picks have no realistic shot of being valuable picks.
If Bam and Jimmy were off the table, what were they expecting to give up?
You’ve gotta be kidding me. I can understand Caleb Martin. Keeping him would be huge, but not even ‘close’ to all seven?
FO strikes again
Two firsts, Herro, one of Jovic/JJJ, and an expiring Lowry seems good enough for an aging superstar with a huge payday coming up.
Well unless they are acquiring more than just Dame in a trade they certainly shouldn’t offer **all** of that. In fact, no team should offer up that much with this new CBA.
As they should. Dame’s worth like 4 of them max
Do we believe any of this really? “Not even close”, is a little too wild for me to believe. There’s no way they wouldn’t at least offer a Herro X Jamie or Jovic X 3 first, right?
I just continue to be right about this situation but people in this sub were so confident in saying I was wrong lmao
Idk. I’m kinda split here. The fanbase wants Dame but I can see where Riles is coming from. You want both of my young ~~prodigies~~ players, the wing that just showed he can produce, my young star and 3 picks for a superstar that doesn’t want to be under your leadership anymore?
You cannot gut your whole team and all leverage to land something else down the line for 1 player.
EDIT: Man y’all roasting me on the prodigies snafu 🤣. I’ll take that, but that doesn’t negate you give away everything for a player that’s made it known where he stands.
Any 3, take it or leave it
I would say they could get it done with Herro, Jovic, Martin, salary filler, and the picks.
I think Miami can and should get it done, if they miss out on a player like Lillard because they low balled constantly it’s a horrible look.
I can see a timeline where we offer all that and then in 2 years some Heat fans then start complaining that Riley sold our future.
Guys let’s just forget it already
Keep in mind gents, Pat Riley is one of the best minds in basketball history and we are very much not.
Fuck Barry and his doomer ass
This makes me happy given that they made this mistake with Lowry when they gave up precious. While Dame is significant better than Herro, his impact on the team given how the heat play will not be as significant as the difference between and Herro.
Jjj and Jovic have HUGE upside. Herro and Martin are proven. 3 first rounders are pivotal for rebuilding franchise which we might be in a couple of years after this trade. All for a guy who literally doesn’t want to be there? The report of Herro and 2 firsts is literally a great trade in my eyes.
Good
If they really don’t like Herro then we keep him and send them the rest
Good. This team has a future as well as a now. Dame isn’t a “sell the farm” type of piece.
2 picks, 2 swaps, Herro, Martin and Lowry. I’d probably go up to a third pick but wouldn’t be happy about it
Lmao I’m still laughing at the report that says Heat offered Herro and 2 picks, that shit was disrespectful af if true. No wonder Portland doesn’t want to talk to us.
Martin and both Jokic and JJJ with 3 picks is a lot to ask for – I would bite the bullet for keeping one of Martin, Jokic or JJJ, though – but that’s the lowest i’d personally be comfortable with going
“If they had a better deal, they’d take it”
We will trade Lowry’s expiring at some point too.
I’m glad Pat Riley is our GM and not this sub. Gutting your whole team for a good player who wants to join this team is stupid. I love Dame and hope he joins but that’s a stupid take to give away all those assets for him.
Unserious franchise. Don’t blame the blazers for not talking to the heat at all. Pat been the villain the whole time
Two 1st, Herro, and Jamie. Don’t think other teams outbid that consider Ming his age, contract, and desire to come here.
That said I can see Portland taking a lesser deal elsewhere not to capitulate to Dame.
Dame is a great player but he’s not worth all that at 33
Good.
