Mannix I was talking to a GM who believes that in the next month 2 months maybe 3 months youll see someone else emerge on the trade market that takes an interest in acquiring Dame At least gives Portland someone to play against Miami in this situation

Amick There are signs that he's Giannis looking at what that roster in Miami might look like after a trade and hypothetically comparing it to what a roster might look like in Boston after a trade with a deeper roster and more help around you

McMenamin A couple of the names UFA I'm told that Lakers have mulled over internally are Tobias Harris from the Detroit Pistons Quentin Grimes of the Philadelphia 76ers who was a teammate of Luka's in Dallas in the past and also Dean Wade

DLLS Mavs Marc Stein If Milwaukee ends up doing the Giannis to Miami deal Tyler Herro obviously has to be in it If they can either make it a 3-team trade or turn Tyler Herro into a draft asset or two from Detroit that makes the overall package you get from Miami more attractive

WQAM Winderman To me if youre asking for the next name in play I think itd be Nikola Jovic at his 14-16M salary You clear that out you could bring Powell back bring Wiggins back youd have the Mid level and maybe go for Tim Hardaway Jr You can round this out fine The Heat are not done

Bobby Marks I think keep an eye on one name Anfernee Simons He's a free agent out there If he's basically willing to go for the vet min and play out the year to restore his value he'd fit in perfectly with this team

Charania Minnesota Lakers Celtics Heat Knicks those are the teams that had interest in Giannis at the deadline You think about teams like Miami and Minnesota those were more back and forth engagement conversations Then you had teams like CLE LAL BOS NYK that just checked in
