Turner and AD will miss a combined 50 games next year easily. I think we have a better trade offer.
Exactly
Only if we have what LBJ wants. If he doesn't want it, we have exactly zero leverage.
With LA........but every one of those guys still has real value. LA sitting on their hands isnt an option.
Yeah I was responding to the convo about AD et al missing tons of games, so it is directly about LA. They do have value of course, it is a matter of ferreting it out.
Nah... they did what Lebron wanted last time around and it got em Russ. I think even he would be smart enough to realize Bev, Bogey aren't stars but can be stars in their roles on that team. I mean Austin Reaves is talked about as some amazing complimentary player... imagine how well Bogey would do there. Also helps them cap space wise as the Turner/Hield deal leaves them with no space.
I’d do that trade. Not sure if Markkanen has that much value, but that would be a nice win-now move on their part. Plus, Lauri is on a great contract for his value.
You only do this if you think the value of the Heat '23 first is more than Markkanen (and even then you have to consider that Robinson's contract is likely 2 more years than the obligation to Markkanen). I don't.
