I recall this happened with Kyrie and Lillard and Durant and Beal (and probably others I'm forgetting), and all did get traded but not to MIA.
Yeah this is the annual Miami Heat tweet. But, one has to wonder how close Miami really was in all of those cases. I'm sure a lot closer than we think with some, and a lot less close with others.
The Lillard thing had the most smoke and didn't end up happening cause MIL came out of nowhere. Kyrie/Durant never really had any legs. I remember the Beal moment but I believe it was Miami who passed up on it citing Beal's contract an issue.
I don't really think they have what it takes to hang for some of the premier stars in rumors right now, but I wouldn't be shocked if they somehow pulled off a trade with Herro being the main piece.
