First one: Miami isn't stupid. Winslow is a huge part of their future. Tyler Johnson? Already have a ridiculous log jam at the PG spot.
Third one: Rebuild mode. Not Retool mode. Taking on a $22M/yr Allstar center isn't much of a rebuild.
Second one: Ok. But why trade a PF (Niko) for two PFs (Wilson & Teletovic)
First one: If Winslow's such a big part of their future, how come his minutes have gone down from 34.7 MPG last year to 23.2 MPG this year? Who's to say they wouldn't rather have Nikola Mirotic for their future? Who's to say that they wouldn't like a 1st over Winslow for their future? Also, I wouldn't call what we have a log-jam at PG. We have a below-average starter and a below-average backup. Tyler Johnson might be better than both of them and is almost certainly better than Grant. Jerian Grant should not be stopping us from upgrading our PG spot. Besides, Johnson can play SG, as well.
Third one: Obtaining an All-Star is just about the quickest way to rebuild. Dunn/LaVine/Doncic or Porter/Markkanen/Jordan may be considered a successful rebuild...
Second one: Because it makes us worse right now. Brown and Wilson are raw prospects. Considering the likelihood of a RoLo trade, Wilson fits in nicely with Lauri and Bobby. Oh, and to get a 1st.
