I’d bet they’re trying to get KD and Derozan together. Wiggins will be gone with Duncan and Terrys expirings. Jaime and Jovic will be out with likely 2 1sts. That’s IF they accept our offers.

Lots of teams in the mix for KD

If this is a horse race, I put Mia in last place.

I was told his contract was a liability that Miami would need to add assets to get off of. It is just twitter fans so who knows. But, interesting to see the sentiment out there.

He’s a great fit on both LA teams. We will have a good deal for him this offseason.

It all comes down too who has the right pieces for the Suns that offer them youth, financial freedom from the tax, and not hesitant to extend Durant. We can offer that to the Suns.

I think Minnesota is last purely from an asset standpoint. No valuable picks, no way to make the math work unless they can talk Phoenix into Gobert which is hard without draft capital.

I highly doubt the discussions is about trade package. I would believe at this point its about Durant's extension and how the teams are planning to build around Durant. I would guess this all boils down that sales pitch to Durant okaying the trade.

Would ya'll give up Ware if it brings in KD and Derozan to pair with Bam, Herro, and DMitchell?

He is going exactly where he wants, I’d guess this is basically his final 5 teams and now they’re working out final details like you said.

Because the current construct of the team it makes no sense. Every year you hear these people talk about DeRozan to the Heat and it never happens. It just seems like a bad media troll at this point. Even with a report of interest last year it never was close to remotely happening. DeRozan wasn’t going to take a pay cut and we weren’t hard capping ourselves.

Riley is going to sell this one final time to Rich Kleiman.

We shall see, wouldn’t shock me at all. In the event we do get KD I think they’d view Derozan as a better use of Terrys salary but who knows. The goal should be to add a true 1st option (KD) and clear all dead money to actual contributors. I agree the fit is weird and I’m not even advocating for it, I just know this front office

Alot better deals to be had than DeRozan. I would continue to add more shooting. Not look to clog things up more. Try to work MCollum in there if possible or look for multi player trades with the LA teams for Wiggins.

Kelel Ware can’t be involved in this deal. At most it’s Jovic and JJJ.

Return to Miami Heat
