“If they can come out of this with four first-round picks, at least one, if not two young talents, and then salary filler, that should get it done. I’m told that right now, Miami has three firsts, Herro, filler and maybe a young player already, like willing to go with that. So, the question is finding that fourth [first-round pick].
“And if you don’t want Herro, you just have to find someone to take Hero [sic] and give you another first-round pick. Then you’re at four firsts and, then, at least one young player and salary filler, and maybe two young players. So, I’m told it’s pretty close, they just have to work it out.”
So:
4 1sts +/- Tyler, + “filler” (Kyle?), + one maybe two “young talents” (Jaime Jacquez, Jr.? Nikola Jovic?).
Both Miami and Portland need Tyler’s salary to make the trade “legal” by NBA. I don’t know if they can do that by no-look passing Tyler to a third team like OKC or BKN. I truly don’t know one way or the other. If I were the “Heat” there is NO WAY I would do the maximalist package of Tyler+4 more 1sts+”filler”+ JJJ AND Jovic. That would be SEVEN 1sts plus “filler.” “Heat” should wait ‘em out.
