Warriors finally commit to a direction and stop wasting the time of one of the best players to ever pick up a basketball. They love their young guys, so their development becomes their focus.
Why for the Warriors
Add a solid young piece to your young core – Podz, Moody, Kuminga, Jovic, TJD
Get back win-now vets who can still help the warriors stay in the mix and compete while the young guys develop
Some of the win-now vets will also be tradeable later if the young players start looking developing quicker than expected and the extra picks can help facilitate that
Why for the Heat
Steph @ 1, Buddy @ 2, Jimmy @ 3, Bam @ 4, Looney @ 5 might bet the best starting 5 in the league
Keep some of your young players
Align Steph’s contract with Jimmy and compete for as long as Steph will play. Whenever they retire, Miami will have a ton of cap space and no shortage of free agents who would want to play in south beach miami next to prime Bam, prime Ware, and prime JJ
Keep your immediate draft capital so you can continue drafting for young core pieces as you compete
