Here is my wish list for Miami Heats off-season
Dame time to Miami: Damian Lillard is the perfect fit & missing piece to the Miami Heat, paring him up with Jimmy Butler & Bam Adebayo would have them being the best team in the league. With Portland having the #3 pick it’s a perfect time for them to enter rebuild since majority of the options if they trade a package of Simmons, sharpe, #3 etc won’t make them real contenders. Its time to trade Dame to his 1st & best option
(Trade: Tyler Herro, Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic, 2023, 2028, 2030 1st rd picks, 2024, 2027, 2029 pick swap)
Porzingis S&T to Miami: Since it seems the Washington Wizards are going to be entering a full rebuild Kristaps Porzingis doesn’t fit that timeline but he would fit perfectly next to Bam Adebayo & on the Miami Heat
(Sign & Trade: Kyle Lowry’s Expiring & a 2nd round pick to Washington for Porzingis signing him to a 4 year 120M deal)
Other pieces: Josh Richardson on a 3 year MLE & the rest will be signed to vet min contracts including Kevin Love, Seth Curry, Pat Bev, Justise Winslow, Rudy Gay, Goran Dragic, Jamal Cain, Orlando Robinson (Haywood Highsmith already had 1 year remaining on his contract)
Total Roster: 14 Players (Two 2-way contracts will also be signed)
The Roster Cap for these 14 players salary combined is exactly at 179.0M which is 500k below the 2nd Apron
