Jaquez is not getting minutes in front of Highsmith, and Larsson probably isn't either. I wouldn't even be surprised if Highsmith starts for some stretches of the year either due to injury or because Spo starts yanking Ware's leash.
If that’s the case we should be shopping Jaime as a sweetener with Rozier.
It'll be interesting to see what happens because Highsmith will be a FA after this season and seems to have value around the league. I don't think he gets MLE money, but I'd guess he gets offers in the $8-$10M/year range. Not sure if Miami wants to give him that kind of money. It reminds me a bit of the Bruce Bowen situation many moons ago.
As for Jaquez, his value is probably on the lower end given he saw limited minutes last year and he is "old" relative to younger prospects. He's still going to be on a rookie deal for a couple more years and would allow Miami to maintain solid depth without having to commit tons of money. Not sure Miami is ready to move off of him this year, especially if Miami continues to pursue a Wiggins trade and plans to let Highsmith walk.
