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

Windhorst The Miami Heat are expected to lose Norman Powell in free agency unless he takes a huge discount

Windhorst The LA Clippers have quietly been visiting draft prospects expected to be taken in the late lottery range in the last few days This could signal a trade of Leonard to Miami No 13 or Golden State No 11 and LA trading No 5 to Milwaukee for Jaylen Brown

Windhorst LeBron's intention is to play and the focus right now is making a deal with the Lakers They are negotiating I think he's going to try and make a deal with the Lakers The league generally believes the two sides are going to come together

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

Windhorst The Los Angeles Lakers would be very open to the prospect of trading LeBron James for Jarrett Allen
