To Get the Dame

Toldja! This is from Chris Haynes: reliable.

The Heat are prepared to offer a package centered around Tyler Herro, with possibly Duncan Robinson and picks, sources say. The Heat would prefer to keep Caleb Martin out of any trade scenarios.

Oh my God, we will be SCARY GOOD with Jimmy, Bam and Dame!

From William Guillory, The Athletic

The Heat are on the path to being the biggest winners of the offseason. Lillard appears to prefer a move to Miami, and his arrival would likely make the Heat the favorites to repeat as Eastern Conference champions. Lillard, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo could arguably be the best Big 3 in the NBA, and all of their skills complement each other. [That is really huge. With superteams, you sometimes see mismatched pieces.] Lillard would also provide a massive boost to a Heat offense that hit major roadblocks at certain points last season. The Heat should do whatever it takes to pull this one off, even if it includes shipping off Tyler Herro and future first-round picks in 2028 and 2030. Lillard’s arrival would extend a title window in Miami.

I guess we have two future 1st rounders, not three.
