Damn, Bam being HeatVols all this time was not a plot twist I was ready for.
Another plot twist: Bammy is the chick pictured next to Bam

Phx did it because they saw a chance to buy low and had no real other way of improving their team but I think that they sold their soul for a team that won’t win a championship at all but that’s on them
Overall I applaud the heat for showing patience and not being short sighted for Beal. Only worth it if we don’t become a 2nd apron team (getting out of Robinson money) and not draining our assets
Why? We would still be left with Herro and Duncan + basically all of our picks minus one from the Beal trade. Now maybe if Herro value around the league is trash so I could sorta understand. I dont think that is the case but I could be wrong. The simple question is what would Herro + Duncan + all the picks and swaps get us.
In this case, if we were to A. have won the trade. Miami would have needed to trade Herro and Duncan + Picks for a one year expiring contract and some slight depth.
the way to look at this is this way:
Miami has two positive tax reducing salaries if they are kept on the team (Oladipo & Lowry) means money that comes off the book reducing our tax implication. If you trade them both for equal salary then next year that salary does not come off the books, so they need to really careful how they trade these contracts and which ones they keep. If Miami keeps them then they get salary relief once they contracts expire and they become free agents.
Miami has two negative tax adding salaries if they are kept on the team ( Herro & Duncan ) means money that is tied for duration of the next 3 years for Duncan and 4 years for Herro. If you trade them both for equal salary then next year that salary does not come off the books. Miami would need to trade for contracts on 1 year deals in this case so they can receive savings next year and avoid the 2nd tax apron.
Miami has to trade them in combination in a specific combination ( Herro with Oladipo ) or ( Herro with Lowry) or (Duncan with Oladipo) or (Duncan with Lowry) or even (Herro with Duncan).
The exemption of trading (Lowry & Oladipo) is if you get back a contract that is also a one year rental that expires just like them.

How many 7fters are out there that can score 20+ efficiently?

If anything, now is the time to tie in in 70m+ to bigs, imo. A guy with KP's skillset is rare. He's basically a Jokic-lite.
He's not Jokic, bargain brand doesn't do it in the league. Trae Young is not technically Steph Curry, same way that this won't work
That same idealism would've worked for his last two teams if he was that nice. I'd do 20 M's at max, but It's a bad investment imo

If you're acquiring KP to be the main guy on a team, you're making the wrong move. However, if you're going to pair him up with a top 10 player in Jimmy Butler and a top 20-25 player in Bam Adebayo, you'll setup yourself up for success - just like pairing Jrue Holiday with Giannis and Middleton, Andrew Wiggins with Curry and Draymond, and Aaron Gordon with Jokic and Murray. Tingis Pingis is a step above all of those guys as well.
