I love Bam, wish he could be on this team for life. But he's wasting his career here at this point and he's our most valuable player by a mile. I really like him in OKC. We can swap Bam with hart cleanly, and they have a ton of picks that they don't even know what to do with. Besides our picks. If we can get all our picks back from them plus (our '25 pick would already be a picked player) plus additional picks like the 76ers from them. Talking about 5-6 picks total.
For Herro it's a lot harder. He has value, but he plays at a position where almost every team has one already. I spent hours tinkering with a trade machine trying to find a trade that made sense for both teams but didn't really find one. Might just keep him as our big contract for cap floor purposes to be traded at a later time should something advantageous presents itself.
If we can get 2 2nd's for Terry as cap relief at the deadline ship him out. Wiggins also should have at least a 1st round pick or two value. Play Ware, Jovic, Jaquez, Larson as many minutes as possible, really see what you have in those guys.
The one thing that is for certain is that Giannis, Donic, Jokic, SGA, Tatum/Brown, those types of guys..... they aren't walking through the Heat's training facility doors anytime soon. Even if they wanted to come here. We couldn't be in the conversation. That's just reality. Our best chance is to find the next SGA, not acquiring him via trade.
Orlando would probably pay for Herro, Suggs/Herro back court is solid for the forseable future.
Ask for Black + some pick package like 2 FRPs depending on quality, maybe see what else you can get.
Wouldn't mind that, considering he's about to ask for an extension.
I rather not gamble on his potential and rather get value, I think he can be a perennial all star level player for the next 5 years, but unfortunately that is just not enough.
