Three first round picks is enough and you can argue about some of the pieces, but if we're giving three firsts, I don't see us including JJJ or Jovic. Unless he agrees to an extension, your leverage isn't all you think. Yes, you can go elsewhere, but I think you'll find teams are similarly unwilling to cash up.
I agree on the rest though. Not a good deal
I would much rather Cleveland go to Brooklyn and get those Phoenix picks with Cam Johnson. If the best Cleveland can get for Mitchell this summer is a couple of Miami first rounders and Duncan Robinson/Terry Rozier then I am comfortable keeping Donovan and seeing what the team can do with a new coach.
If I am the Cavs then I wouldn't even begin a conversation with Miami unless the core of the deal is Herro/JJJ/2029 unprotected 1st/2031 unprotected 1st. After that we can debate on swaps, Jovic, or the 15th pick. I would be ok with Miami keeping Jovic and adding no swaps with the draft rights of pick# 15 coming back to Cleveland.
Miami just doesn't have much in the way of assets when you remember that they are a play-in team that won't put their 2 best players on the table.
Donovan has more say in it than you want to recognize IMO
