🏀 Post-Trade Depth Charts (2025-26 Season)
Miami Heat: The Kentucky Engine
The Logic: Miami pairs Bam Adebayo with his former Kentucky teammate De'Aaron Fox. This creates a high-speed, defensive-minded core that fits "Heat Culture" better than the Herro/powell shooting backcourt.
PG: De'Aaron Fox / Davion Mitchell
SG: Norman Powell / Kasparas Jakucionis
SF: Pelle Larsson / Jaime Jaquez Jr.
PF: Bam Adebayo / Simone Fontecchio
C: Kel'el Ware / Paul Reed
Detroit Pistons: The Scoring Gravity
The Logic: Cade Cunningham is a brilliant playmaker but lacks a high-volume secondary creator. Herro (a career 20 PPG guy / 38% 3PT threat) provides the gravity needed to stop teams from doubling Cade every possession.
PG: Cade Cunningham / Daniss Jenkins / Marcus Sasser
SG: Tyler Herro / Kevin Huerter
SF: Ausar Thompson / Caris LeVert
PF: Tobias Harris / Javonte Green
C: Jalen Duren / Isaiah Stewart
San Antonio Spurs: The Harper Runway
The Logic: The Spurs move Fox to clear the way for Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle. They gather high-upside wings (Holland) and veteran spacing (Robinson/Wiggins) while keeping their cap sheet clean for Wemby’s eventual $70M+ supermax.
PG: Dylan Harper / Jordan McLaughlin
SG: Stephon Castle / Duncan Robinson
SF: Devin Vassell / Carter Bryant / Ron Holland II
PF: Andrew Wiggins / Keldon Johnson / Julian Champagne
C: Victor Wembanyama / Luke Kornet
🏁 Strategic Verdict
Miami gets their second star and an elite pick-and-roll duo.
Detroit gets a legit 20 PPG scorer to maximize Cade's prime.
San Antonio clears the logjam at PG, adds three versatile wings for Wemby, and protects their long-term cap flexibility.
