I'm ok with this, but also I don't think Heat will trade for him.
Don't know why everyone is pushing it, 76ers just dealing with a rival and then also Heat only wanting players that fit their culture.
Media is pushing for it, but I don't believe the Heat FO has any interest.
Nope. Not putting Caleb in. We need him defensively to matchup with Celtics and Bucks who added more pieces. Who are we gonna have to guard Tatum, Dame, Brown, Jrue while Bam is protecting the rim. That would more to Butler work load he'd have to take one of those assignments.
You can't move Caleb without getting another 3 and D player back who can play heavy playoff minutes.
It's the only trade combo that really works.
Can't send JJJ or they'll go over the 2nd apron.
The alternative is trading Duncan + Lowry vs Harden + Tucker, which also requires more assets to be put in.
Caleb's role can be taken by JRich/Highsmith/JJJ, Duncan's role is not as easy to fill.
Lineup would be:
Bam/Jimmy/JRich/Herro/Harden
It's more offense and still 3 solid defenders, certainly an upgrade, but they don't need to do it right now, just waiting is fine.
