My theory,
Chris Bosh's contract is ending in this summer.
Whiteside and Ryan Anderson traded to other teams. Miami Heat drafts (hopefully) Zion in NBA Draft 2019.
Kevin Durant gets his 3rd ring leaves GSW and might join Miami Heat, Kyrie follows KD.
Starting 5,
Kevin Durant
Kyrie Irving
Bam Adebayo
Zion/Dragic
Olynyk

Boshs contract doesnt even equate to our cap situation anyways

Bosh is already off the books. And moving Whiteside and Anderson would give us enough room to sign Durant or Kyrie, but not both. We would need to trade James Johnson to get into the ball park to get sign both.

The 19-20 salary cap is $109 million. So all that needs to happen is:
- someone takes Hassan Whiteside for pure cap space!
- someone takes Ryan Anderson for pure cap space!
- Miami has $89,919,198 on their cap then for 8 players
- I assume Miami gets Zion with the first pick, so Miami wins the lotto!
- Miami signs Zion to 1st pick salary of 6,804,300, putting them at 95,723,498 (not counting the other 3? cap holds)
- Durant and Kyrie decide to sign for a combined salary of about 13 million, or 6,500,000 each!
All those things sound about equally probable

For a moment I thought I'm on a NY Knicks forum. hehe
I think any GM who will get that #1 pick will have absolutely no other option but to take Zion. Maybe he will be able to trade that pick to get AD. And that's it. It's just like Suns had to take Ayton. Otherwise, national media would tear them into pieces.
