Exactly when all said and done it will look like Utah sent Tucker to Toronto when trade finalized. Not counting out the Tucker reunion just yet. Tucker sounded excited about coming back here and Tim Reynolds was pumping the reunion. If Anderson and Burks are dealt here it will be interesting cause we got our PG already.

So Jimmy got the money he wanted, and now gets to play with Curry. Its really hard to spin that as a loss for him.

We got Wiggins who salary goes into 2026 and PJ Tucker. Wiggins is not bad. The pick wont be high value, and those thinking magically two mid picks this year can get you a lottery pick are straight up delusional. The most important thing is getting under the tax, thats something that will be a Win for Mickey pocket.

Honestly this whole mess could have easily been avoided by trading him earlier.

*reports come out team wants to preserve 2026 cap*
Flash: why would we do that, thats stupid?!

*team takes back Wiggins who cuts in to 2026 cap*
Flash: why would we do that, thats stupid?!

Look, if its not one thing its another. Had we traded Jimmy earlier you would have just found a way to complain about the return, because thats your schtick. We got a serviceable player at a position of need and a moveable contract, and what projects to be a pick in the mid teens. Considering our recent draft history, I will take those odds.

The whole point of not wanting to pay him was 2026 cap space. So then we go out and do the complete opposite and get a contract that goes into 2026?

To be fair, he has a point, I’ve never seen you take the optimist position on anything Heat related, ever, lol. But I know some people are just permanently glass half empty types, and it does balance out the perma homers.

Kind of player a quality team would have as a 3rd guard off the bench for defensive juice. Gabe Vincent/Dru Smith mold in that sense.

Funny enough--he's younger than Dru Smith

So a starter here then?

It doesn't matter. I just assume all of these are money moves, though I haven't taken a good look at the numbers.

Andy, Pat, and Co have done well here. This team is now setup for adding the next guy that shakes loose and has a pretty clean outlook.

Curious to see if anything else big happens. Orlando seems to be active.
Miami / Chicago / London

I know it’s not likely but I wouldn’t mind starting Mitchell.

The rotation is looking bloated now with Wiggins and Jovic's emergence. Feel like 1 of Rozier, Duncan, JJ should be moved for draft comp. Rozier obviously wouldn't bring anything back but JJJ could be worth flipping for assets.

So Davion Mitchell is the new project point guard.

I think Pats still cookin, there’s overlap. I don’t see much of a role for Jaime right now and I flat out dont want to see a role for Terry. Let’s consolidate a couple of these guys for another really solid player

I was thinking the same thing tbh. Might not happen right away but when you look at the roster construction you can see that Rozier stays in same role regardless of Mitchell being here or not. Mitchell takes over the Dru Smith role.

Mitchell is a 8th man on rotation you bring on for defensive purposes. And besides he's short. He's valuable against quick guards but he doesn't bring much of anything else. I'd rather role with size. Wiggins, Herro, Bam, Ware, Haysmith. If we are going to start a guard, set Pelle. He's longer and does the same thing. But not as laterally quick as Mitchell

Anderson and Burks still in play imo 2 for 1 that opens a buyout roster spot

That looks solid once we draft Maluach and have him as Wares backup.
