I mean, I'd love to see this trade happen, as I love both Dame and Butler, and would like to see both of them win.

Also, the Dame Butler Bam trio would look CRAZY!!

However, what could this trade even look like? Can the Heat even trade for him without GUTTING their bench?

We saw what happened with the Suns...

They have scoot, simons, and now grant. They probably want a wing and a big. Maybe Phoenix can be a third team and the blazers get ayton, heat FRP's, duncan robinson, and lowry? Not too bad for the blazers considering that beal went for less.

Wait, so what do the Suns get?

Suns ➡️ Blazers: Ayton
Heat ➡️ Blazers: FRPs, Robinson, Lowry
Blazers ➡️ Heat: Dame
Blazers ➡️ Suns: ???

And why would this not be 2 separate trades? IDK I'm confused.

Suns get Nurkic and Little? I dont know either.

Great question...

I imagine the Heat will have to give up some combination of Herro + either Duncan Robinson or Lowry + several of their first round picks. Not a great deal at all for the Blazers unless negotiations involve moving Nurkic who's owed something like 54M over the next 3 years.

Lillard, Richardson, Butler, Adebayo, Nurkic would be interesting. But apart from that, no more depth on the bench with Vincent and Strus gone. The pickup of Thomas Bryant is fine and Kevin Love is just more a vet presence.

Trading Herro might be reasonable, considering you get Dame back, that's true. Lowry really impressed me in the finals, even though they lost.

IDK, but I'm excited to see where this goes!!

Getting Dame for Herro, Duncan and picks would be amazing for Miami.
