If Miami has to take back Jusuf Nurkic ($16.87M) alongside Damian Lillard ($45.6M), Heat would have to send out at least $56.83M in salary to trade match at 110% during new league year. Could get there easily by sending: Herro ($27M), Lowry ($29.68M), and one of Jovic/Highsmith.

You can officially take the Spurs off the table for Lillard (not that it was ever serious to begin with). Wemby is nowhere damn near ready to help a 33-year-old Dame contend for a title.

Almost safe to say it hasn’t been announced because Miami is looking to expand the deal.

Per @ShamsCharania , the @MiamiHEAT have been preparing a trade package for @Dame_Lillard which would include "around 3-to-4 first-round picks and pick swaps." How can Miami open up 4️⃣ first-round picks? I break it down below.

RE: Caruso-Heat trade rumor: Miami’s current tax bill is ~$28.7M. Adding Caruso using Oladipo trade exception increases tax bill to ~$61.6M. Unlikely. Trade matching would be ideal. Heat would need to send $8.6M in outgoing salary. Do you trade Caleb, a minimum, plus a pick?

The @MiamiHEAT could claim Cam Payne off waivers w/ either of their trade exceptions from Strus sign-and-trade deal w/ Cavs ($7.49M) OR Oladipo salary dump w/ OKC ($9.7M). If Payne clears waivers, Miami could offer a 1-year vet minimum deal worth $2.89M ($2.01M against cap).

The Spurs acquired a future second-round pick and $5.6M for Payne in the July trade. Spurs have several young guards on roster that they’re building around now. Payne had a 31-point game vs. Nuggets in Game 6 of Western Semifinals.

Miami was down 7 at halftime the last time they played a Game 7 against Boston at home during the Big 3 era. They tied the game at the end of the third quarter and went on a 28-15 run to close it out. Hope for a repeat of the same with Heat down 6 at the half 🙏🤞

I’d argue that Dame did the Blazers a massive favor after convincing him to sit all those games so they could strategically tank. He could’ve been stubborn, and they might not have Scoot rn. Least they can do is do right by Dame and be way more accommodating of his trade request.

If the Blazers shut Dame down the last 10 games of last season to soft tank…. why would they want Dame at the start of this season, screwing up their chances at the highest possible pick?

Best @MiamiHEAT win of the season for the sole fact they won not once but TWICE. With Dedmon serving his 1-game suspension for tossing a massage gun on the court, it enabled Miami to fall an additional ~$16K below luxury tax line. They’re now ~$209K under (via @teixeiraluis92 ).

I don’t doubt @flasportsbuzz ’s sources, but this would be an idiotic move. Taking on a $9.89M dead cap hit for 3 seasons straight instead of letting his contract expire makes zero sense. You’d trim $19.7M in 23-24, but would only have a small portion of $5M T-MLE to replace Lowry

If Miami gives PJ this deal, Heat are basically limited to giving Caleb $4M (bi-annual) and Dipo around $10M. No outside free agents unless it’s for the minimum, which Miami would need to either choose between waiving Highsmith (non-guaranteed deal) or tell UD to politely retire.

P.J. Tucker return to Heat shouldn't be ruled out yet, but sources say Tucker is seeking the $10.3 million midlevel exception and three years As @IraHeatBeat reported, Heat currently only willing to guarantee three years using non-Bird exception

In retrospect, Riley says Wade leaving was "like a cooling off period." "When he left, there were some hard feelings on both sides, but they weren't lethal. We did not work it out the way he wanted it worked out, and that's our fault."

In this scenario, Heat would meet Stepien rule by holding firsts in: • 2025 (via PHX) • 2027 (own) • 2029 (own) Miami would also NOT need to amend the lottery protections on their 2025 protected first owed to OKC. ‘25 (via PHX), ‘27, and ‘29 picks can be sent as pick swaps
