Now comes another "Heat" trade proposal, another Damian Lillard trade proposal. From All U Can Heat via the Heavy:
Bucks receive: Tyler Herro, Terry Rozier, Nikola Jovic, protected future first-rounder
Heat receive: Damian Lillard, salary filler
AUCH and Heavy, you receive an F. The trade is a straight-up swap of Jimmy Butler for Dame. Jimmy is 34, Dame is 33. The ages are a near match, both players are in decline, the salaries (Jimmy: $37.7M, Dame: $42.5M) are a near match and Miami with Jimmy, Tyler, Terry, Niko, Duncan, Bam, and Jaquez, Jr. is much better than Dame, Bam, Duncan, and 3J. A straight-up Jimmy-Dame trade produces the best "Heat" roster: Dame, Tyler, Terry, Niko, Duncan, Bam, 3J. How is that not self-evident?
