Miami Heat Dame Trade Ideas and Rumors

[kjironman1]

This is pretty funny because we all have known this was probably the case since July.

 

[kjironman1]

Please pardon my ignorance, but who is that & why should we care? I mean, homie looks like the homeless dude that was just 86’d off the MAX train on my morning commute a couple minutes ago…

Raptors reporter with 75,000 followers but who am i to say?

Not too sure, but he has a number of well known reporters that follow him.

My guess is OG wasn’t on the table and the other stuff either wasn’t good enough for Phoenix or for Portland.

or (less likely) the heat actually upped their offer.

Or maybe we can’t get a guarantee he will resign

Cronin is an idiot if he feels like he has to take the best offer available before camp.

I get that you want it to be over with, but don’t settle. Channel your inner Morey.

 

[RonBrewer]

At this point, if it is Miami, hope it’s a good haul. I’m not going to enjoy hating on Dame in a Heat jersey….or maybe I will

if Cronin was an idiot Dame would be in Miami already. Cronin is actually doing this a lot better than I thought he would

My hope is that this is Joe trying to get Masai to up his offer.

God that would be disappointing.

 

[Cugel]

The Heat have nothing. If Joe does that it will live in infamy. He will forever be viewed as a moron that caved. He will never have another NBA job after he is fired by POR in a couple years.

 

[RonBrewer]

God that would be disappointing.

Would rather just wait til trade deadline. At least we showed we tried to appease Dame

 

[illmatic99]

God that would be disappointing.

I think this might be the MIA offer we end up accepting.

Ayton, 3 firsts, Jovic, and 2 pick swaps. It's not that much worse than what Toronto would give us.

think you have to demand JJJ in it is as well and you take it

He is fairly inconsequential.

If we have to accept it, they need to free up 2024 as well.

Disagree.
He'll be significantly better than Jovic.
Every team can use a 'hart' type player

 

[Idog1976]

Talk about out of touch. Also, why in god's green earth if you were a millionaire would you downgrade to an EV and then replace the battery in 3-5 years? My mom has had to replace hers twice to the tune of like $20k.

WTF NO! A it's Miami, so horrible start (I get that is the thread). B), we are getting just Jovic and 3 picks? That's garbage! Yuck!

 

[illmatic99]

If you say so. I honestly haven't paid attention to him.

 

[Blazinaway]

So it's starting to appear TOR was not offering much either

 

[blazedanugz]

disagree.
He’s the type of player with a motor most teams would like to have.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I always thought Cronin was going to send Dame to Miami. Hope it's not true. That's a really shitty package from Miami.

Has this already been posted?

About time they got their asses to work!

He's the Raptors inside guy. This is the Raptors trying to apply pressure to Portland.

It's the opposite. Masai applying pressure on Joe.

Hard to tell if he will be significantly better than Jovic. They are two entirely different types of players. It would be best if we got both just in case.

If they really were only going to give us one of the two (which is a deal breaker for me) I am not sure which I would prefer. If we plan on trading Grant then I would choose Jovic. If we intend to keep Grant then Jaime would fill an immediate need....especially if Nas is moved in an Ayton deal. We need a solid 225 lb SF alongside Grant.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I wouldn't believe that narrative. Cronin has admitted taking worse deals in the past to get guys to their preferred destination. Heck, just look at him taking second rounders over James Wiseman.

It's super hard to make an offer for Damian Lillard that would not be better than Miami package.

 

[Samuel]

Could be.
