Could they hit the reset button early (this summer) to try and land a big fish or two to pair with Jimmy and Bam???
Detroit trades: Jaden Ivey($8)
Detroit receives: Duncan Robinson($19), Tyler Herro($29), and Terry Rozier($25), future pick(s)
Pistons use up all $60 million of their cap space in this trade but they'd still have the room exception to add one lower $$ FA.
C: Duren / Top 3 pick / Vet Min?
F: Stew / Ausar
F: Font / Robinson
G: Herro / Grimes
G:Cade / Terry / Sasser
Not the best use of $60 million, but it lessens the length compared to deals we'd give out today and we actually get 3 decent rotation players all of whom can shoot the ball and score the ball.
Would Jovic make more sense than Rozier? Better position fit and cheaper.
Miami would be doing this to clear the books to land FAs this summer such as LeBron, CP3, Klay Thompson, PG13, Pascal Siakam, OG, etc. They aren't making this move unless they already know they have some FAs coming.
They pretty much have Butler at $49 million this summer and Bam at $35 million and a bunch of minimum guys if they make this trade.
It's obviously not very realistic overall, and I'd rather have Jovic than Terry but overall I think they'd need to clear the books clean and get rid of Terry's money as well. Even this move only gets them to about $50 million in cap space if they flipped Ivey or $42 million with Ivey.
Like if they knew they could get LeBron + PG13 to split $ to come to south beach and then add CP3 at the room exception.
C Bam
F Lebron
F PG13
G Butler
G CP3
It's a stretch for sure.
They could also look at making moves with multiple teams with cap space to take that trio.
