You're never prepared for something like this… My dad, Brian Goins Sr., passed away unexpectedly, and my family is raising funds to give him the farewell he deserves in Miami, the city he loved. Any support means the world to us. 💙

“The Heat made multiple offers for Durant but ultimately turned down the opportunity to place Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jovic, Haywood Highsmith, the No. 20 pick and other draft assets in a deal, sources said.”

Just for fun: If Miami wanted to pair @KDTrey5 w/ @Bam1of1 and @JimmyButler, they have the salaries to trade match pretty easily.
KD makes $44,119,845 next season, so Heat would need to send out at least $35,215,876.
Lowry ($28.3M) + Herro ($5.7M) + minimum ($1.75M) = $35.8M
What an offseason disasterclass for the Heat. Miami let their two biggest conference contenders get exponentially better by failing to get the Dame trade done. Their window is closing if not shut already.
The @MiamiHEAT are positioned to offer @Goran_Dragic two contracts while staying under luxury tax:
• 1-year (prorated): $820K ($518K cap hit)
• 2-years: ~$3.5M ($820K cap hit in 2022)
In both scenarios, Miami terminates Highsmith’s 10-day contract early to open roster spot.
