Two Part Trade since Cavs can't aggregate

Part 1

Cavs: Garland
Cavs: Bam

Heat: Bam
Heat: Derozan and Murray

Kings: Derozan and Murray
Kings: Garland

Part 2

Kings: Carter
Kings: Highsmith

Heat: Highsmith
Heat: Wade

Cavs: Wade
Cavs: Carter

Final Trade

Cavs: Garland and Wade
Cavs: Bam and Carter

Heat: Bam and Highsmith
Heat: Derozan, Murray, and Wade

Kings: Derozan, Murray, and Carter
Kings: Garland

Heat get a better fit next to Ware in Murray to start building for future and can use Derozan as a stopgap SF to start or backup Wiggins.

Cavs: Get more big depth that has been plaguing them for 3 years in a row to add more physicality. It worked well for OKC and helped them win a ship when they were able to get larger with Hartenstein.

Kings: Really need a PG to build around. Get a young one who is locked in without having to give up much beyond Murray.

The Kings simply take Bam for themselves here.

Kings just signed Schroeder. They’re not going to trade their only wing for another small guard that doesn’t play defense.

Miami could get much better value for Bam IMHO

The Cavs don't need Bam with Mobley and Allen, so there's gotta be a part 2 where the Cavs trade Allen.

The Heat don't trade Bam for lesser pieces, nor would they take Garland now that they have a Herro/Powell backcourt.

The Kings feel like the winner here to me.

This is really bad for Miami. I mean, DeRozan and Murray? How many wings do we need? We already have Herro, Powell, and Wiggins as starting quality players. We can make that work. But we trade easily our best player for two more wings so we can sport a frontcourt of Ware and Dean Wade?

Miami is going to pass.

This isn't good for the kings. I don't think Garland is worth this. Garland seems like a rich mans version of Collin Sexton and I wouldn't want to give up Murray for that type of player. Also if the heat were going to take a deal like this the kings would just take Bam.

This is only good for Cleveland.
