With the NBA investigating the timing of the sign-and-trade transaction utilized by the Miami Heat to land free-agent guard Kyle Lowry from the Toronto Raptors, several mitigating factors would appear to stand in the Heat’s favor.

According to an NBA party familiar with the league’s tampering investigation, the Heat’s maneuvering for Lowry differs significantly from the timing of the Chicago Bulls’ sign-and-trade acquisition of New Orleans Pelicans free-agent guard Lonzo Ball, which ESPN reports the NBA also is investigating.

Unlike with the Ball situation, the Heat previously had been involved in extensive negotiations with the Raptors at the March 22 NBA trading deadline regarding Lowry’s availability. At the time, the Raptors laid out potential parameters for a trade, an NBA source confirmed to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, with it also clear at the time what the financial parameters would be to sign Lowry in free agency.

Lowry ultimately agreed to a three-year, $85 million contract that starts at $27 million this coming season.
Aware of those parameters, the Heat last Sunday picked up the 2021-22 $19.4 million team option on the contract of veteran guard Goran Dragic, with that contract along with the contract of neophyte center Precious Achiuwa utilized as matching salaries for the Lowry acquisition. The advance work on the Lowry possibility at the NBA trading deadline was in marked contrast to the sign-and-trade agreement between the Bulls and Pelicans for Ball, with no trade consideration in that case at the trading deadline.

Would we be interested in IT’s bitchass for the backup pg spot? I dont like his attitude… but we could use the offense while Kyle is resting

I think we need more defensively alongside Herro in the backcourt. IT ain’t it. If Kyle got injured I’d look at him but otherwise nah.

Seen an idea of swapping KZ and a future 2nd to Hou for Augustine and House.

Haven’t looked at the contracts but the fit would be solid.

Clearly the worst player on the court in a summer league game. Need to try and trade him for a 2030 second and get his 1.7 salary slot to use on a real player.

Kz and Gabe don’t belong in the nba

Max Strus is the opening night backup 3 and it’s not even close.

Gabe is kept around cause he’s best friends with Bam. KZ is worthless. As for his defense. Ok one on one defense and clueless team defender. He should be released if no trade tbh.

Garrett and Strus putting on a show

Prior to getting PJ and Morris, I would have scoffed at the idea of just cutting KZ.

Knowing that he's never gonna get meaningful minutes unless there's an injury, coupled with just how terrible he's playing tonight, I've changed my thinking.

I don't even get why these tampering rules exist. Let teams and players negotiate whenever the fk they want. Let em' bang bro.

Dude is forcing up rubbish right now. It’s game 1 so I’ll cut him a little slack, but I want to see something this SL. He legit looks cut worthy.

He just got pulled from a summer league game for how awful he was playing. Poor play, poor body language, and zero confidence. He don’t belong sorry not sorry. Anybody saying other wise is delusional. He barely got any run towards the end for Nigeria cause he sucked so bad.

He’s been playing ball in the Olympics. No excuses. Straight china if that. More like State Farm agent
