"Miami is always in great position because, especially if it's players with not a lot left on their contract," said Adrian Wojnarowski before Miami's loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 1. "One year or two years. And they tell their team, 'I want a trade to the Heat, and if you don't send me to the Heat, I'm going to become a free agent and go somewhere else. Don't trade me to that team or that team.'
"Teams can still decide to send you where they want to send you, but it's always an advantage for Miami. Players want to be part of that organization. So I think Miami will be in a position again to use the assets they have to get another All-Star level player that maybe connects more on the timeline of Bam Adebayo and his age."
While Wojnarowski didn't specifically mention any names, one player who appears to fit the description is Donovan Mitchell.
Mitchell to Miami
Duncan Robinson to Detroit
Tyler Herro, 15th Overall, '29 1st and '31 1st to Cleveland
Didn't we just do this with Dame last summer?
Exactly.
Numerous teams could outbid the hell out of Miami IMO. And we saw even a MIA only edict won’t work.
