Certiqinly would not want him at 10 million next year. Burks is ok. Maybe a better fit than Hardaway…not sure though. I think I would rather hold on to Hardaway.
It scares me to death that the Heat want to move Lowry. He certainly has not looked good in Miami. But I would strongly consider a Hardaway and McGee trade for Lowry. I have no doubt Miami would get good production out of both….McGee will suddenly learn how to play again.
Dallas gets a guard who will look to push the pace, be a pest to other teams and not afraid of big moments. But he may be done.
Timmy for Burks + Noel is interesting. Timmy is probably the best player, but Burks might be a better fit and Noel might be worth a peek given our current depth issues. It definitely makes sense from a contract standpoint. The other part of that trade was Dorian + first for Bogi and Bey. I have no interest in that.
If we could do Timmy + McGee for Lowry it would be a no brainer. Cleans up the cap for 24, gets the McGee taste out of the mouth and adds needed playmaking and defense. I doubt Miami would be willing to do this.
