Heat / Suns

Heat want to get under cap, and open up the overloaded bench plus become more of a full court offense to match Dragic's style of play.

Suns have money to spend and an empty bench, plus are weak on the wing.

Heat deal Deng and Chalmers to Suns for return of first round picks sent to Suns for Dragic last season.

Heat get rid of $14.5 mill and under cap which saves $45+mill including tax money, restocks drafts, goes small (and cheap) at SF with Green and opens bench space to offer Richardson a spot or retain Tyler Johnson or James Ennis, which are all of interest to Heat. Heat also keep Anderson who is the only true center (other than whiteside) on the roster.

Suns get high quality wing defender and starts to round out an empty roster.

Heat:
Whiteside/Stodomier/Anderson
Bosh/Mcroberts/Haslem
Green/Winslow/Ennis
Wade/Richardson/Z Dragic
G Dragic/Napier/Johnson

Suns:
Chandler/Len
Morris/Leuer
Deng/tucker/warren
Bledsoe/Goodwin
Knight/chalmers/McNeil

Suns could also use Anderson but to deal all 3 pieces, Heat would want to get something (main motivation for the move is to clear cap space, and goal would already be met above). Anderson could go to Clippers (or stay with Suns) for a 3rd party trade if Heat get someone like Crawford thrown in -- Crawford could start at SF and be additional insurance for when Wade is down. Suns could also use or release the other guys Clippers want to move with Crawford. Clips may want too much and Suns don't have the assets, so Clips may need Napier with Anderson there, so I didn't list this as a primary possibility as it would clear 1/3 of the Hear roster. Still could work. Heat have enough ball handlers even if Napier moves.

If I was the Suns, I would only send 1 1st rd pick for that

@nba -- even for 1 pick, I think heat should take a deal like that. It saves freaking 45million bucks and helps both parties.

That said, Deng isn't someone the heat want to get rid of. He's a prize piece especially on D, so I think the Suns would really benefit from this.

in terms of money, bench space, and player benefits I think this is one of the more feasible deals.

Awful all around. (No offense). As a heat fan, I don't want to trade 30% of my team(!) and I don't think either team would be better off afterwards than before.

Deng is a better fit with the heat, and if we don't somehow get durrant, Deng might stay. Whiteside is also likely to stay in Miami but may not stay with kings.

Not sure heat will remove top 10 protection, but if so we want to dump Chalmers 100% more than birdman. Both would be way down in minutes given heat roster, but bird man is a fan favorite and sells jerseys. Let's just say no one wears Chalmers jersys.

Phillyrich, the complication on the deal is that no one wants to pay $4.5mil for chalmers. Even here in Miami we know he's got skills and can put up decent numbers most nights, but we don't use him right, and he needs a team that will. We play our 1guards, 2guards, and small forwards at point at different times so although he's a solid player, he's not Wade or dragic, so being so far over the cap we don't want to pay him that much either -- would rather develop the young guys for cheap.

I think philly is playing the market and seeing who they get at the most reaonable price/quality ratio -- seeing if they can get a solid player for less $. My bet is Chalmers will make it to Philly this year but not in a hurry.

I just hope the deal gets complicated and nets Miami crawford (probably won't unless we trade Deng)

Bump, phillyrich

That's why I assume it's philly who needs a sweetener in the deal if Anderson could make it to clippers. I think although it's a salary dump, Chalmers is a decent option for you guys a pg given the market. You still need more though to make this work.

Heat would love that (currently $7mill or so over tax line, dump $9.4 to back Crawfords $5.4(?) mill puts heat only around $3mill over cap and benefit from Crawford with no real loss -- heat won't play Chalmers this season, and Anderson would play but he now overlaps with amare, so he's expendable, although much loves in Miami)

76ers would actually benefit from Chalmers plus he would actually see real minutes, so that's a positive for all. Anderson being waived would cost 76ers additional cash. Miami can't supply it because after the zoran and Shabazz trades we only have $700k in cash to spend which isn't enough. That may hurt how philly sees that part

Clippers is the real hard part -- Crawford is worth getting a return on and Althogh over tax I don't know if they want to just give Crawford away in return for just putting a cheap body on the bench to lower tax hit.

I'd love to see anyone's reaponse, but I think this trade would make more sense for clippers if they somehow got Anderson for cheap as well, which could possibly be done after the waive of Anderson by philly. But I still think philly needs a sweetener. Miami has no picks and no cash.
