Looks like the Heat can get him fairly easily and may want him.....but I doubt they do it then let him go. He might wind it down in south beach.

Make a better thread, at least suggest a working trade.

He's going to the Heat if the Thunder are willing.

If the Thunder refuse, which I think is unlikely, somebody else will want him.

But, if I'm the Thunder, I get a 3 team deal going...something like;

Mavericks get Dragic

Heat get Paul/Adams

Thunder get (couple 2nd rounders from Dallas)(get the Heat to change protections on the picks they own and add a 2025 first)(Lee's expiring to save more money and winslow/Leonard/waiters)

A Paul/Butler/Adams core with some of the role players the Heat have would actually make noise in the East imo.

For both Paul and Adams? Surley they can get more than just the 2025 pick.


Mind you, the protection on the OKC-owned Miami draft picks are as follows:

2021 (Top 4 protected, swap rights after that)

2023 (Lottery protected)


I'd absolutely try to get Tyler Herro in this deal, kid is a sniper and looks to have the potential to be good.

I don't think so.

Changing the 2023 to top 4 protected would be important imo.

Winslow, salary cap relief, extra 2025 first rounder lightly protected, and a couple 2nd rounders.

Maybe, but Paul probably has negative trade value. Adams probably slightly positive with a team willing to take back money.

I think it would be hard to even get the above, but we'll see.

Heat would give up a bit more than normal because they obviously want to compete right now and adding Paul/Adams isn't as detrimental as it would be to most teams.

no, the point was to get chains5000 to post

[LostCause]

Does Bron really need more help?

AD. Cousins. Kuzma. McGee. Green. Bradley

May as well go after Victor Oladipo too, and Lou Williams off the bench

^^^ THIS

Their salary just don't match.. so the Lakers will send multiple players/picks + Rondo to get Paul?

I say he seeks a buyout and joins the Lakers.

I'm sure Paul would be fine with playing with Butler in Miami. The East is pretty wide open.
