    I haven't seen a single Blazers fan EXCITED about a potential Heat trade, but I think most of us would admit it's the most likely. Let's talk about rumors and opinions on what the Heat might/should offer...

    Here's something that seems to be in the ballpark (the draft picks would have to be adjusted AND we would probably prefer to have draft picks/value instead of Herro and Robinsons).

    The Heat -- as single dance partners -- can fuck allllllll the way off.

    + Martin
    - Robinson
    + Lowry's expiring
    + More picks

    Still not sure that's enough...

    I would hope we don't pick MiA but if we do it better be Lowry, Martin and Jovic plus picks. No Robinson!

    I want to know one thing: which team values Tyler Herro? If we knew that with certainty, we could see the value of a Miami trade.

    I'm not a big Herro fan, and he definitely doesn't fit on Portland, but some team, somewhere, has to want him and be willing to give value, right?

    Miami seems like one of the worst teams in the NBA we could trade with in terms of assets (the Lakers are worse, the Clippers, and probably a few others) which is frustrating.

    Cronin won't do a single-team trade with Miami unless they send back Adebayo.

    I read a post on twitter earlier that the Jazz have interest in him which would help us.

    To me, a Heat trade only makes sense if Herro can be redirected to another team who would actually give us value for him. I've come around on the idea of a Miami/ Brooklyn 3-way deal with Simmons and picks/prospects coming back. For me to be satisfied, there would need to be at least 4 FRP's, and probably at least 3 of Claxton/Clowney/Whitehead/Jovic/Jaquez

    Probably. But I don't care. He could just stay in Portland but he's the one who wants a chance to ... don't care about his feelings one little bit.

    Exactly.
    I don't think it's as frustrating for Cronin.

    You are not getting Claxton or Clowney if Dame goes to Miami. Not a chance in hell IMO. It would be idiotic for the Nets to do so.

    To follow up, I think Herro/Robinson to Brooklyn makes a lot of sense in this scenario. Jovic/2 picks from Miami to us, Simmons/Clowney/2 picks from Brooklyn to us. Still feels a little light, but not sure how it needs to be balanced.

    You could be right, but if they're able to add Herro and offload Simmons, they certainly need to pay a premium to us for making that happen. What do you think that premium should be?

    Perhaps as a part of that deal if necessary to acquire Claxton, sure. But I wouldn't mind terribly seeing what Nurk looks like on a team centered on running youngsters.

    Problem is they have the least leverage in all of this. Portland and Miami could pull in Utah, San Antonio, Philly... there's reportedly a number of teams wanting Herro, so play ball or lose out on dumping your guy AND getting one you want...

    Is Simons or Herro better? We sure we want Ant over Herro?

    I’d take Clowney, Whitehead, Jovic, Simmons, Oneal, Lowry and add an additional 1st (5 total) for Dame, Nurkic outgoing.
