The Miami Heat were willing to give up more assets for Jrue Holiday than for Damian Lillard, per @EthanJSkolnick “Jrue’s contract is friendlier. He plays defense, which the Heat value; and the Heat don‘t believe that Dame does.”

too bad! – Brad
A package like Herro + JJJ + Jokic is probably more valuable than Brogdon + Rob given Brogdon’s age and Rob’s injury history. I wonder why Portland turned Miami down.

Can you imagine what a disaster it would have been for the Celtics if the Heat had gotten Holliday? Brad got the job done big time this past summer.
This feels like they didn’t get what they wanted and now they want to make it seem like they didn’t want Dame.
“We actually didn’t try that hard to get Dame. Please do not put in the newspaper that we tried as hard as possible.”
-Miami
It’s not only Miami. No one believes Dame plays defense.
