    Who wants the perfect Dame antidote?

    Wouldn't surprise me if Toronto and Miami are still interested? Philly needs a PG. Boston does too but that's a big salary to add on.

    Owed 36 mil, has 2 seasons left.

    I dunno of San Antonio or Orlando wants to expedite their timeline?

    Why not keep Jrue and trade Ant?

    I hope we can get two FRP's for Jrue. That makes the trade more palatable. I'm still absorbing it. I figure blocking out Miami for the next 4 seasons is worth quite a few draft picks, but I'm a bit perplexed by this trade TBH. Like wut?

    Edit: After time to absorb it, I'm stoked about this trade!

    I wonder if OG is still an option.

    OG, Dick, Boucher is enough I think.

    no doubt. But he can ball. I may be in minority but this team is going to win sooner than later

    I like your thinking, but it remains true that nobody wants Ant. However, I don't feel bad about starting Jrue and Ant for the beginning of the season, with big "for sale" signs on both their foreheads.

    We don't waste a second here. I like the OG idea... then we can flip OG... perhaps for Hield and a first? Then flip Hield for...

    I'd be cool with Jrue for Lowry, Jaquez, Jovic and a first round pick. I don't think the Heat will be operating out of a place with any leverage and that would make them just as good if not better than they were last season.

    I would stay away from Gradey Dick, watched him in Summer League and he showed absolutely nothing

    he would be a perfect fit in Boston, works well in Brooklyn and fits their 2025 plan, given contract and talent both ways (O and D), he's IMO a good bit more tradeable than Dame

    Need another pick. Holiday and his defense are a premium at the moment with the juggernaut in Milwaukee.

    Think it's too much salary for them to bring in.
