I know, Pat Riley is prone to fumble a star sitting right there in his hands but maybe this is the time he finally gets it done and isn’t being a stingy/stubborn old bastard!

Looks like we’ll have plenty of competition for KO but the article also makes it sound like the Jazz will look to trade him for actual players they can use instead of just run of the mill expiring and picks. This is where someone like Duncan can come into play for them as they kick the can with another tradeable contract down the road and also fill a need at SF.
Thomas Bryant
Duncan Robinson
To Jazz for
Kelly Olynyk
This move gets us clean out of the tax and makes us major players in the buyout market.
What else will Miami be throwing in to get a decent player on an expiring contract while Utah takes on much more money this year and long-term money on multiple players they probably don't need?

I was glad to find out today the Cavs can’t give him the supermax; only the team that drafted you can offer you a supermax. Didn’t know that was a thing

Really???
Trading for a guy that doesn't play defense, why not just play Jovic?

Not at all, if a player is traded on his rookie contract, he can still get the supermax from his new team. If Haliburton doesn't get to 65 games this year, and get an award he won't be supermaxed and could lose 50+ million on his contract.

The NBA was a different place 10 years ago. Bosh revolutionised the stretch 5 role, there wasn’t really anyone else doing it to that degree. Totally changed his game to accommodate 2 of the best players of all time, and we won 2 chips as a result.
Offense reigns in this era of the NBA where no one plays defense. Most games were still in the 80-100 bracket for total points. Not like today where teams are dropping 120-130+ a night without OT.
Bosh in this era would be putting up gaudy stat lines. That’s not a slight on Bam, who has been terrific and will be one of the best bigs the Heat have ever had. But it’s ok to say he’s a step behind CB at the moment, Bam hasn’t even reached his prime yet.

Its a shame really, because Duncan & Caleb money wise works, Miami saves an additional $1.5M this year, and Oneal whom comes off the contract next year gives Miami an additional $9.5M in savings which will help use for Mid Level or another minimum contract, 2way etc.

Rockets were rumored to be throwing out a good amount of picks to get him and were turned down.
The Houston Rockets have expressed a tremendous amount of interest in trading for Mikal Bridges, sources tell The Athletic. The Rockets have made an offer of multiple first round picks to the Brooklyn Nets for Bridges in recent weeks.
The Nets have zero interest in trading Bridges, who is part of their core moving forward.
