So, rumors has it that the Heat are interested in getting Lauri Markkanen. As a franchise, they missed out on May stars like Donovan Mitchell and Bradley Beal, but this time, it'll not be a problem.
Jazz want to give up Clarkson and Collins also, and this deal works on both ways. Miami wants a bit more guard depth, welcome in Jordan Clarkson. Brooklyn wants to get rid of Ben Simmons and DFS, welcome in John Collins and Tyler Herro.
Danny Ainge wants a lot of picks, so three unprotected picks from Miami, with a protected pick also to Utah, and a another pick from Brooklyn because of the extremely bad Ben Simmons contract. That pick is the Philadelphia pick in 2027 that is 1-8 Protected.
So, it's a win-win-win
Trade:
Heat: Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson
Nets: Tyler Herro, John Collins
Jazz: Ben Simmons, Dorian Finney-Smith, Jaime Jauqez Jr., 2026 First, 2027 First (via. PHI 1-8 Prot.), 2028 First, 2030 First, 2031 First (1-5 Prot.)
