They probably get 3-4 firsts for KD still. None of those players they sent back are stars. Like in the Heat’s case, Herro is twice the asset any of them are. Sadly, this still prob inflates the KD price tho.

KD to Phoenix
Mitchell to Brooklyn
Ayton to Utah

Even though these players (KD, Mitchell) are on multi year deals, they still have say in where they will end up. How often do you see a franchise player ask out and the team sends him some place he doesnt want? It rarely happens, Mitchell would have to sign off on Brooklyn.

If Ayton gets signed and traded to Utah for picks to pair with Mitchell, then Phoenix can flip a boat load of picks back to Brooklyn for KD.

Hole e chit

[Spacely]

Mitchell can’t even go to Brooklyn because of Ben Simmons remember

KD to Phoenix
Mitchell to Brooklyn
Ayton to Utah

That’s doomsday

Can't Happen same applied with Bam to BK so Mitchell can't go to BK

[wadenation305]

If Utah calls and says yes to the Mitchell trade the Heat better not sit around and say "we're waiting for KD first". Screw that don't sleep. Which ever fruit shakes loose from the tree you grab that **** and run.

Hey ICC! Better start whipping up some of that Guava BBQ sauce you make to slather up that trade packet!!!

***Update from the madness. Ok this one was a long phone call this afternoon I got more juicy news.

I am gonna break this out on things verified by my contact and things he is hearing from conversations at the office.

Confirmed:
1. Dipo had a 2Year 9.5M per year on the table with a player option on the 2nd he rejected that was tentatively. From Dipo himself not his agency, he wanted a firm 1 year. He feels like he is gonna break out and gonna go earn himself a multi year long term.
Was promised a firm 6th man role with the possibility of earning starter position based on his play. Hes top priority is playing minutes.

2. Yesterday around 4pm shortly after Durant's news hit social media there was call into the top brass from the Clippers they did not request Miami to put together a trade packet but they did enquire about if Miami was interested in Helping facilitate Durant to LA with Paul George heading to Miami. Clippers haven't contacted Miami since then.

3. The GM of the Brooklyn Nets desperately wants this hoopla to end and is trying to expediate this process as best as he can. However the ownership side wants all the cards on the table and want to be involved in this transaction personally which is who is pushing this decision farther down the calendar. The GM has a good relationship with Durant but Ownership can give two fcks about what he wants at the moment. Miami is in the top 2 of choices based on current packages sold to the Brooklyn where Durant would like to go. However Brooklyn told the top teams trying to get Durant there are 2 other teams with better packages than those talked about in the media currently. This is the part that is Unverifiable as this could be a bluff on Brooklyn's part last night those teams they mentioned was the Pelicans & OKC, however the packages aren't known. Durant does not want to go to any of those teams. Additionally Philly has fallen way down the list to the point they may not have a chance, Durant found a way to get word back to their front office that he wants nothing to do with the Beard. Any trade involving him means Harden has to GTFO. The decision will not be made this weekend and more likely expected next upcoming week.

4. Utah Jazz are being a lot more aggressive is sending out feelers to teams on their players being available. The conversation from the office is that Utah is going to take advantage of a team left holding the bag for the Durant sweepstakes and will get that deal for Spida instead with a few heavy bidders who struck out. It is believed that a deal is already in place for Utah's center and should be released this afternoon. ***Edited LOL*** took me a while to type this and eat my sandwhich I post it and literally the trade is done . Gotta be more like WOJ or SHAMs in speed I guess.

5. Portland had a mid level trade setup with Miami for Duncan, that is now on hold until the Durant or Spida find a new home, they don't want to risk offloading him if he can be used to match salaries. It is absolutely true that Duncan is viewed very poorly and offers very little interest in a straight up trade.

6. LA Lakers contacted Miami this morning asking for their involvement in a 3 team or 4 team trade scenario to help get Kirie to LA.
Miami Declined, as they do not want to give up the only assets they have to swap Lowry for slightly better player. This one actually caused a big chuckle around the team execs for LA's offer. The only benefit to this trade is it would have help shed salary and get picks back but its currently not part of the plan.

I'm glad you escaped Riley.

Thanks for the update!

This has been my thought. The Rudy deal sounds like they choose Mitchell. This is bad for us.

[BlueHeat]

I'm afraid it looks like we are going to lose out on the star players as well.

Can we at least strike out on all of them before bringing out the caskets and kleenex?

No.

[Vertical Limit]

K so no mitchell.. durant to celtics.. i dont even think Paul Millsap would sign with us..

[Lilseb93]

Paul Millsap season, boys.

[Grumpy Heat Fan]

Just get Kevin Durant damnit.

Forget about Mitchell.

Offer up more picks if we have to. Send our young guys that we found in the scrap heap. We'll find more later. Everyone wants to play for the Heat.

JUST GET DURANT NOW PAT, STOP PLAYING!!!
