Windhorst The Portland Trail Blazers want the Miami Heat to literally scrounge into every nook and cranny and produce everything they possibly can in a package for Lillard The Heat haven't done so and haven't felt the need to do so since June

Siegel The Heat can offer Tyler Herro Kelel Ware Jaime Jaquez Jakucionis and 2 1st round picks they can trade right now in the offseason all of a sudden that doubles they can trade 4 1st round picks I just dont think theres another team out there that has a better package than that

Fischer Damian Lillard has been behind the scenes trying to make a Giannis Antetokounmpo to Portland deal happen

Fischer The Miami Heat have young pieces Ive been told are definitely on Milwaukees radar Tyler Herro a MIL native someone whos been an All-Star Kelel Warehes a clearly high upside player that has tons of interest around the league Heat also have Kasparas Jakucionis Jaime Jaquez

Windhorst on why Cleveland is doing the Harden deal The key here is that the Cavs are moving away from believing in the Core 4 and I think the genesis of this is because they're worried that Donovan is not going to re-sign this summer

Windhorst Golden State has moved on Minnesota who was also very aggressively trying to get Giannis they have also moved on So you can tell Minnesota and Golden State are not getting Giannis the Miami Heat are still out there The Heat are still trying to make moves to improve their offer

Windhorst This deal can get done if Cavs say yes What's holding the Cavs up is I'm sure what they might have to pay James Harden in a new contract but also that they actually want to fracture the core 4 This ball is sitting in the Cavs court right now
