Miami Heat Dame Trade Ideas and Rumors (2 Viewers)

[SharpesTriumph]

I guess we'll see this season. There's no way to start him unless they put Wemby at the 5 which they've said they won't do.

Soschan can play some minutes at SF. Wemby is a good shooter so it would work fine with spacing on offense. Defensively those two as forwards is scary.

As another poster said - literally nobody on this forum believes the Spurs view Soschan as a bench player. Some might argue he's their 2nd most valuable player after Wemby.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

I think that's overpay. People acting like Sochan has done anything yet. He really hasn't.

Wemby and Scoot "haven't done anything yet" Soschan has been effective in the NBA which is more than them

Those two rookies are still worth a ton in trades, even haven't doing anything yet.

Kyle Lowry has "done things" and nobody cares. Players value is based on a projection of what the WILL do not what they HAVE done.

You're comparing generational players toa late lottery pick who has no offense? Umm okay...

If their plan is to start Wemby at the 4, Sochan won't be starting. That's a bench player for the foreseeable future.

Thank you, David Aldridge, for being the NBA commentator who finally says it:

“Are you out of your minds, Heat Nation? No, Tyler Herro and three first-round picks is not a good deal for Portland for, arguably, the best player in that franchise’s history. Not. I love how fans — and, not a few general managers — argue with a straight face that my team’s third- or fourth-best player with some filler should, somehow, be enough for you to give up your team’s best player. Like, I’ll trade you my ’09 Camaro with shot brakes and three bald spares to you for your ’22 Benz with 253 miles on it. What? Sounds fair!”

To be fair, the Heat think that Dame is the '09 Camaro and that Herro is the low-mileage Benz

This guy says it even better......

If we sent Ant and one of the Heat picks for Sochan and McBuckets that might be a tempting offer. Those Spurs really lack perimeter scoring and Ant is an absolute bucket.

That’s a crazy overpay.

 

[wizenheimer]

You're asking the wrong guy. They've been meaning to get a 5 so Vic doesn't have to bang inside against NBA centers... not until his body fills out.

yeah right...and of course he won't have any trouble defending starting NBA 'PF's' like Giannis, Tatum, Jimmy Butler, Siakam, Aaron Gordon, Harrison Barnes, Lebron, Draymond, Kawhi, Zion, Josh Giddy, Doncic....geeeezuzzz, this isn't the 90's anymore. The NBA has evolved a ton. And I saw Wemby in summer league. The guy is not laterally quick on defense...at all. If he's a full-time PF he's going to lead the league in reaching fouls as his man streaks by toward the hoop

No, some of the Heat fans are posturing that position. Pat Riley and Eric Spoelstra are well aware that the guy who put up the best numbers of his career last season before the Blazers pulled the plug and fired up the tank, is still a well-maintained Ferrari and the Heat’s only chance at another deep playoff run before they begin their own inevitable rebuild in a few seasons.

I will say this, I'm not as confident that it'll be Miami anymore.

Did @hoopsjock find some new notes from the blazer front office leaker in the bowels of a dairy queen being remodeled last night?

[SharpesTriumph]

It's crazy so much assumption that Miami was the heavy favorite for Dame and then in minutes all 3 of Shams/Woj/Haynes shoot it down that they havent talked since summer league.

LMAO at Heat nation right now. I so hope we get a nice Dame return from a different team and they can enjoy Tyler Herro starting at PG opening night.

 

[Samuel]

that talking point is so tired and sapped of its meaning at this point, lol

 

[BankTeller]

Damn Pat, offer the max and get this over with.

Jovic, Jaquez, Lowry, Martin, 1sts in ‘24, ‘28, ‘30, unprotected swaps in ‘27, ‘29.

Miami has to believe this is true... in order for Dame to get to Miami.

He's their Draymond Green.

That's the wrench in all of it. This is fascinating but I'm ready for it to be over haha.

There's been rumblings in Phoenix about them wanting McConnell.

Indy jumping in as a landing spot for Herro could be interesting.

Hield to Miami with Dame.

Phoenix gets Nurkic+McConnell+Martin for Ayton

Portland gets Ayton+MIA assets and maybe a 2024 1st from IND (they have the least favorable of four seperate teams).

MIA gives up Herro, Martin, Lowry, Jovic, and two 1sts for Dame AND Hield (great fit for them, replaces the Strus role is a better shooter).

 

[Sheldon Shape]

He's their Draymond Green.

Supposed to be. That's different than saying he is.

Going to be hard if he's coming off the bench which seems to be the plan right now.

So Ayton, Lowry, Jaquez, Jovic, and 3 1sts? I could live with it if the ‘27 and ‘29 swap are included.

Give me Jarace Walker pls Indiana.

Woj shut everything down. Everyone get back to work. I gotta finish mowing the yard now.

I wish but I don't think that's realistic. Not for Herro when they'd be giving up Hield.

 

[Whyachi]

here's a Miami radio guy's podcast on Woj shutting down trade rumors. I can't listen atm, gotta go cut stuff

 

[BonesJones]

Woj shut everything down. Everyone get back to work. I gotta finish mowing the yard now.

Brookfield Duece (Dame's cousin who's been with him shooting music videos) has said it's a smoke screen and liked tweets saying it's a lie.

But a ton of people on both sides have said that's true, so who knows.

Don't see why McConnell would add any chance Dame goes to Miami. If the Blazers haven't talked to Miami since summer league it seems like any trade that happens soon is to a different team.

McConnell makes 8.7 million - maybe its something like this;

Because apparently Phoenix wants him. If that gets Ayton to Portland, then it could swing the thing, as crazy as that sounds.

Exactly. He is a piece the Suns want and due to his smaller salary and the Pacers being one of the few teams that has a little cap room (~$7M), they can help facilitate a trade and add some depth which they need.
