There is a Harden-Brogdon-Hield-Siakam-Lowry-Holiday super trade floating in the ether and I want to see it happen – 3:26 PM

Countdown to camp: What’s the point? In the wake of Lillard loss, is there a Heat Plan B to salvage? sun-sentinel.com/2023/09/28/cou… Lowry? Herro? Butler or Adebayo as the primary handlers? – 12:27 PM

On Holiday (a top defender), remember he will understandably seek big contract next July. Holiday, 33, averaged 19.3 ppg per game last season. Lowry averaged 19.2 for Toronto at age 33. There’s no fountain of youth for many PGs
Food for thought. – 10:41 PM

As unpleasant as the world of “if” can be … if Heat can land Jrue Holiday for Lowry’s expiring contract and one future-thought piece, it still would put them ahead of the game. (Heat should call from their “786” number since Cronin might not be accepting anything from the 305.) – 3:55 PM

Even if Blazers HYPOTHETICALLY took Lowry’s expiring, Jovic & 1sts for Holiday,re-signing him next summer (while keeping Jimmy/Bam/Duncan/Herro/Jovic/Jaquez re-signing Caleb),Miami would be tax team in 2024-25 &would have to worry about 2nd apron.(Like with Beal). So there’s that – 3:37 PM

More on this storyline
Playbook Sports: “They [the Miami Heat] are not going to overpay for someone who is 33 years old. Toronto didn’t want to pay Kyle Lowry after 35 [years old], they’re going to pay this guy [Damian Lillard]? [Miami’s] offer is the best offer,” – @LeBatardShow -via Twitter / September 26, 2023
Though several accomplished veteran point guards are available in free agency, the Heat hasn’t been actively pursuing one, according to a source. Kyle Lowry is the only natural point guard on the Heat’s roster, but a person familiar with the team’s thinking said he won’t be surprised if the Heat opts for Tyler Herro or even Josh Richardson as a starting primary ball handler if it’s unable to acquire Lillard before the season opener. Lowry could continue to come off the bench in that scenario. -via Miami Herald / September 14, 2023
The Miami Heat opted Thursday to bypass utilizing the NBA’s “stretch provision” at that deadline, meaning the guaranteed salary on their books for the 2023-24 season no longer can be reduced other than by trade or buyout. The league’s annual Aug. 31 deadline allows teams to stretch the remaining payments due to a waived player over twice the number of years remaining on a deal plus one, as a means of alleviating the hit against the salary cap and luxury tax, provided such moves are made prior to Sept. 1. With the Heat hard up against a new, onerous level of the luxury tax, there had been speculation earlier this offseason of such a move with the final season on the contract of Kyle Lowry, with the 37-year-old point guard ending last season as a reserve. -via South Florida Sun-Sentinel / August 31, 2023
