I think they’ll want several prospects plus picks, and I think they’ll trade Simons. Edit: The question then becomes how much we value Herro. Is he worth two of our young prospects plus a first or two? Hmmm… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,218 Report post Posted July 1, 2023 It’s obviously all about what we’d get back, but I’d be sad to be the 3rd team that helped Miami land Lillard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm… You’re showing your disdain for our number 6 pick lol …two top 6 picks sharing the same position …since Sharpe can shoot I guess theoretically it would work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His play would be perfect next to those two guards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted July 1, 2023 Jeff Weltman has spent every opportunity to talk about flexibility and how important it is and nothing says flexibility like trading the 4 year cost controlled contract of your number 6 pick for the right to pay Tyler Herro 120 million over the next 4 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fan for too long 2 535 Report post Posted July 1, 2023 Who is our top paid player? Now compare his salary per year to every other team in the league and what their top player makes. Simple math and a simple minded gm. Period. We ain’t doing SH** 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We ain’t doing SH** Yeah, I understand the frustration here. It’s getting close to being a conversation of if we’re really that smart with money, or if ownership has just decided they want to be cheap over trying to compete. I had silly hopes for an exciting off-season that included trading one of our picks and getting back some sort of proven scorer, but it looks like we’re content on running it back with 2 more rookies and some uneventful FAs. Even the Ingles move, while it’s something to like on paper, he’ll be 36 by the time the season starts and coming off a recently torn ACL. I honestly am not sure if I expect him to be an on court contributor at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll give up all that just for Herro and his bad contract. Horrible trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
