first of all, it's clear jimmy wants out of Miami, and the Heat need to use this time when he is valuable to get him off the team, similar to the pascal trade from last year, the magic use the money they paid for KCP to get a star next to Franz and Paolo, getting jimmy makes the magic one of the best defensive teams in the east, pushing them into the contending teams

the Lakers are in this deal to dish away Vincent and JHS who both haven't been what the Lakers wanted them to pan out to be, getting a stretch 5 in carter Jr allows the Lakers to play more with AD at the 4, creating more spacing under JJ Reddick s coaching system

the heat are likely to push for this trade, yes they don't get a young star that they can build with, but they get players like KCP and Vincent who can fill out the rotation, the heat have been missing that 3pt shooting like KCP since max strus left in 2022, and a defensive PG in Gabe who can run the bench unit with the younger guys like jett Howard, also the draft capital from the magic can push the heat into a 'semi-rebuilding mode' allowing for a retool around Bam and building through the draft as we've seen recently
