UD really costing us potential contributors at this point. Just make him a damn assistant coach and give him a token few shares in the Heat organisation ffs. If he wants to play ball at practice and grind, go for it.

Let's see how the dust settles if we're successful with a KD or Donovan pursuit. Clearly, Martin will be logging some time at the 4 though...so prepare thy butthole for that.

Saturday afternoon, Brooklyn spoke to our Miami team execs and made full intentions if they wanted Durant to pony up, Durant himself called His reps to explain he wants Miami he’ll or high water and phoenix is second. His team reps and Miami Heat players, Bam/Jimmy have been in communication that this can work and they can get championships. Durant feels Miami will surround the team with the right pieces, he also regards Spo as a creative coach that can get him a trophy. He is also sold on the fact Jimmy said to him you can get the rains and let me do the dirty work in the trenches and get you easy buckets, he is sold 150%.
Miami has had 4 face to face Meetings with Brooklyn since Saturday. The caveat here is Brooklyn does not want Herro, Lowry, or Duncan. They are asking Miami for Yurt, 3 FRPS, and to use Herro, Lowry or Duncan plus fillers to get them 3-4 more FRPS from another team if they can get 3 or 4 team trade. They are in on getting Durant here.
Utah called Miami last night to tell them they will now make Mitchell available and Herro is point on the deal. They asked for Bam, which Miami said absolutely not. Ainge likes Herro, but like Brooklyn wants nothing to do with Lowry or Duncan as well. They want 5-6 picks minimum. Need to find 3-4 team to swap them for more picks. Miamis picks Carry little weight other teams FRPS ideally those not on the top 5 in conference are more enticing. They expressed that Herro is there for the taking and Donovan has not been too happy behind closed doors, they want to do right by him as this is headed for a long rebuild which is what Ainge was hired to do. They feel like Herro can sustain a long rebuild with his age and due too eagerness to be the man can be a huge selling point to the fans and still sell tickets.
Miami feels that Donovan might be more feasible as of right now and dealing more with Utah may lower Brooklyns asking price. Miami holds Durant as a 1A player and Donovan as 2nd tier star caliber a la Jaylon Brown. Which ever way they feel they will attain one or the other.
There is a meeting with Miami and Utah tomorrow afternoon, involving a few other teams who have made themselves available for the transaction review. They could get this finalized by tomorrow night if they have all parties involved. The office is all on high alert everyone feels this is getting done this week, and whomever says yes first is who we get.

Makes me wonder if Miami is really KD's #1 preferred destination
