Would be very interesting

We don't have the assets to pull that off.

We’re about to when we yank 4 1sts from Houston or Golden State

From your lips to God's ears.

I'm listening to Ethan Skolnick right now. He thinks Houston, Golden State (who he thinks is the most likely), Denver, both LA teams, and Memphis

If or when Butler is traded, do not be surprise if the Heat start exploring an idea to get Embiid. I do not like the idea but it could be interest.

[Daffy]

I hate this **** team. Couldn't add any elite talent to a championship roster and now we're gonna trade away our best player and probably get back pennies on the dollar due to age.

Does Bane, Herro, Bam and Embiid make the Heat a title team?

I just don’t see why we’d trade Jimmy and THEN try to finally land his boy. Plus Embiid has like 2 good years left maybe

Exactly. Makes absolutely zero sense

I wish people who suggest trades for LeBron could be banned lmao. Like what are we even talking about, he hasn't been impactful for like 3 years. Just empty stats that the Lakers are enabling for revenue

He’s light years better than Rozier would be enough of an argument

But to pile on, he would finally give Jimmy a non Tito teammate in the playoffs

If it was just Rozier, then sign me up (I'm lying, I still don't want him on this team lol). But Duncan?? I'd rather keep him. And I am by no means a Duncan fan, he's received my share of criticism for awhile now, but no. Duncan is of more value to this team as is than any version of LeBron you see today.

I'm hoping we can just put something together to get a decent C of the Vuvevic caliber and a PG like Schroeder while only giving up a Rozier package without much more. But I think Duncan would be perfect in a package to get John Collins.

Vuvevic in the playoffs would be another Tito

Think Houston has the right picks, mix of young players, and filler contracts to get something realistically done. I don’t see us making anything happen with Golden State. Not sure we have any interest in overpaying Kuminga.

I’m leaning Houston as well.

1. Houston
2. GS
3. Dallas

Houston,like dallas, is unrealistic as trade partners for Jimmy, imo. Jimmy wanting them doesnt mean they can make the numbers work. They would have to trade the leader of their team in FVV, who Miami will not value, to make the numbers work. Once you add in the assets needed to make it work on Miami's end, Houston has to ask themselves what exactly it is their doing. They do have a simple path to max cap space this summer and can sign Jimmy out right

Interesting because it was said a week ago both those teams were interested in Butler if he became available. I think both can make packages that work but that doesn't mean Miami would want them. Teams are going to look to acquire him for cheap or just move on.

I think they can trade Brooks Adams Tate and Jeff Green to match numbers. Outside of brooks those guys are expiring and aren’t in the rotation. Houston is in position to land a star like Jimmy without cutting anyone out do their rotation except for Brooks IF they’re willing to unload the picks.

Im not sure what a random tweet proves. Dallas might like Jimmy, but trading their entire FC for him and their defensive backbone (PJ/Gafford) doesnt make them a better team (nevermind that it would have to be a 5 for 1 deal midseason). Im a little more open to being wrong about Houston, but i'd be surprised to see them, in the midst of a winning season with great team chemistry, trade their on floor leader...but that one at least has an outside possibility.

A lot of things can change between now and the TDL tho, so we'll see

This was published just over a week ago.

Within league circles, there’s been quiet discourse about whether the Houston Rockets or Dallas Mavericks will eventually land Butler, a Texas native, should he and Miami decide to part ways. For now, however, the Rockets are among the top teams with a young core, and the Mavericks remain a contender in the tightly competitive Western Conference. It’s also worth noting executives who’ve checked in on Butler got the impression that Miami wants to figure out their star’s future after the season.

Aside from Butler, the top Heat trade candidates are Miami’s future first-round draft picks and Terry Rozier, according to NBA executives who’ve spoken with HoopsHype. The 30-year-old guard was recently moved to the bench as his scoring production is the lowest in eight years. Rozier is owed $24.92 million this season and is guaranteed $24.92 million next season, with another $1.72 million non-guaranteed. Rozier’s remaining salary becomes fully guaranteed if his team participates in the conference semifinals and he plays in at least 70 regular season games.

Because it has nothing to do with Butler.

But with his health, it may be about availability.
