I have more faith in Lindsey and his new GM than this. If that's the trade we better be getting 2 firsts as well. Favors is better than Love for far less money.

So we replace Rubio and Favors with lesser players?

If no Tobias, Russell or other major free agent, my Plan B is:
A future draft pick and minor contracts (Korver, Bradley, whatever) for Winslow, Olynyk and Waiters.
Winslow and Mitchell can run the point. We could have a crazy switchable team with Donovan at PG on defense along with Ingles, Winslow, O'Neale and Gobert.
Miami thinks about it because they are in middle of the pack purgatory and want to avoid the luxury. They also lack a 2021 1st rounder and want to spend big in 2020.

Love it. One of my favorite plan B ideas I’ve seen yet. I think somehow Dragic may also have to be part of it if he picks up his player option this year.
I wouldn’t say it means they don’t want to join us, I just think that given the current dynamics, they’ll be locked up elsewhere. This is what happens when you value flexibility above all else — you soon find that you have none.

Randle averaged 20 ppg and Efrid went off for 26 points 14 assists vs Kings in the next to last game of the season. I guess these guys are lesser players. My bad.

Miami is in a bad spot. Their team salary for next season is something like $141 million already. They've been in the tax so the repeater tax is starting to wear on a team which is stuck in the middle. They don't have a 2021 1st due to a prior trade. They really want to be spenders this summer and next summer, but they have zero flexibility. Their situation sucks, and I bet we could help them and help ourselves.
Players they would love to trade who impact this year AND 2020-21:
Waiters (2 years $12+ per year)
James Johnson (2 years $15+ per year)
Olynyk (2 years $13+ per year)
I would take Olynyk and one of the other two of the contracts above if we got Winslow. I really think he's worth it. Winslow was the team's starting PG last year because Dragic was out. Now that Dragic is back though, I wonder if Winslow becomes slightly more available. Riley is a big fan of Dragic and some think he might retire there. If we got Winslow, we wouldn't have to go the traditional PG route. With Donovan, Ingles and Winslow on the court, we would have guys to run the offense.
Much of the Miami speculation has them having to use a draft pick or other asset to dump Waiters or Johnson. If we would be willing to absorb one or two of those players, I bet Miami would consider trading Winslow.

I know I’m in the serious minority because I think Love is a better option than Conley. That doesn’t mean I’m super high on Love though, I just think Conley is a terrible option. I really hope we don’t end up with Conley.
