“[The Heat] are always star hunting. They have some players on their roster that would potentially be interesting to Cleveland, not as deep in draft picks as [Nets, Lakers]” (via @WindhorstESPN)

Spida to the Heat only happens if we’re one of the teams on his small list. But if that list is long and includes random teams like the Pelicans, Lakers, or Nets then we’re probably out lol.
I know ya’ll got PTSD of Dame, but at least in this situation, Spida only has 1 year on his contract. He actually has leverage on where he wants to get traded to. Think similar to what Siakam did to teams this past deadline. Only teams who wanna take a risk (like what Toronto did with Kawhi) can mess with us

I think a big factor that shouldn’t be overlooked is Donovan’s preference. If Donovan pulls a Lillard and says I only want to go to Miami… it’s different this time around, as yes they can just trade him to the Nets/Lakers but he can tell the them beforehand “You can trade for me but I’m not gonna re-sign with you” to turn them off of trading a premium for him. Lillard had 4 years on his contract so he was stuck wherever he got traded.
Miami can offer Donovan personally
1. Complete offensive freedom and no one to have to share the ball with 2. A defense first team 3. One of the greatest coaches of all time 4. Bam & Jimmy big 3 5. Culture 6. A team that’s both veteran enough to be a contender now, but also has a bright young future to stick around with and always have a good team 7. A team that has made a ton of playoff noise in the past 5 years 8. Miami Nightlife
Lakers can offer him
1. Sharing the ball with 2 other offensive ball dominant players 2. A new rookie coach that’s likely gonna go through growing pains 3. Pressure to succeed now 4. A team that in 2-3 years are going to be one of the worst teams in the league with no more draft picks 5. Traffic
Nets can offer him
1. A team worse than the one he was just on 2. Being the 2nd best team out of 2 in NY 3. Cold weather 4. Ugly boring team colors
Idk but if I’m Donovan I’m pulling a Lillard asking for only Miami, no bias.

What’s the magical team, that prys him away from us this time? Cuz if that’s the only teams we competing against he’s easily ours imo.

I think a big difference between Cleveland and Portland(Dame situation), Cleveland doesn’t control any of their first rounders from 2025-2029, they’re not going to want to tank because they won’t get the benefit of it, so I think they’ll prioritize players who can come in and help win with Garland and Mobley.
Yes they will want picks too, but I don’t think they have a choice, they pretty much have to try and put together a competitive roster.

Don’t forget no state taxes here 😄

Cavs trading Mitchell for some Reaves + picks centered package but not potentially wanting herro would be too funny

Mitchell is trash. Hope Pat doesn’t get him.

People are mad because Miami doesn’t have assets but that’s the cost of trying to be a good team. They gave up picks to get Dragic, Butler, Lowry, Rozier, the list goes on and on.

Would really like to have KD

What are the chances Lebron’s trip was to set up a Mitchell to Lakers deal? Rich Paul was in town.

If any of y’all still getting hopes up after the Dame saga last summer, y’all didn’t learn anything lol.
