Trade For Anthony Davis? MAJOR Miami Heat Trade Rumors

Trade For Anthony Davis? MAJOR Miami Heat Trade Rumors

Coming up in just a little bit, we’re going to be talking about a crazy trade where Miami rejoins Bam Adabio and Anthony Davis. The duo was awesome for the Olympic USA squad a couple of off seasons ago and maybe Miami would like to bring them in to the 305. And it’s clear that Miami needs another big. I mean, the Heat have gotten off to a really good start. They’re seven and five through the first 12 games and have had a really tough schedule to begin the year. So that’s pretty good with Adabio missing games as well as Tyler Hero being out for the entire year to this point. But the Heat have been able to win games at an unsustainable level. Why do I say that? It’s because they are consistently being outrebounded. The Heat are seven and five. They played 12 games. The Heat have been outrebounded in nine of the 12 games. They actually outrebounded their first two opponents, the Magic and Grizzlies. And then since then, well, they’ve been outrebounded every game besides one. Specifically over the last five games, it has been really ugly. Outrebounded by 23 to Denver, 20 to the Hornets, 10 by Portland, and in back-to-back games by four and five, respectively to the Cleveland Cavaliers. I mentioned the word unsustainable, but that is the perfect word to use here when referring to the Heat style play. Right now, Miami is not going to be able to win for an entire 82 game season as well as in a sevengame playoff series if you are consistently allowing your opponent the amount of second chance opportunities that Miami has. Not only are they being outrebounded for the game, the offensive rebounds Miami has allowed simply unbelievable. 14.8 offensive rebounds per game. That is the second most in the NBA. The team that allows the most offensive rebounds per game, the Washington Wizards at 14.9. And it’s a different on the year of two offensive rebounds. And it killed Miami again last night, giving up about 16 17 offensive rebounds to the Cleveland Cavaliers. And against the Blazers last Saturday, they gave up 20. Like Miami is not going to be able to win. And I don’t know if it’s the need for more size. I think it’s more or less on that line because when Bamabio’s been hurting out and I know that’s going to be a big story here and deservedly so because he’s your best rebounder and best person that is able to box out and secure rebounds, but when wear isn’t on the floor, you’re running a small lineup with Yoic. And I know Yovic shouldn’t be playing small ball center, but the point is the Heat roster is constructed to a point where they don’t have another big man outside of Kel Wear right now with Bamabio’s injury. So you need to add more size not only to help Bam help Kel Wear, but also provide a an insurance if you will when or if those two players, one of them goes down with injury. And we’re going to talk about Anthony Davis here coming up, so stick around. [Music] Anthony Davis very well may be the solution for the Miami Heat in terms of this rebounding issue. And with the Mavericks firing their GM or president of basketball operations, I don’t know his exact title, earlier this week and Nico Harrison, it seems likely that they could like or trade one of their top veterans this upcoming trade deadline because that team is going to have to go into a full rebuild mode because Nico Harrison put them so far in the gutter. And before we look at the trade rumors and help us out here by sharing today’s video, our November share leaderboard. We’re third right now at the company behind Nixon Warriors. So, let’s take them over. Share today’s video to a Heat fan if you want to help us out and reclaim that top spot. But the top trade candidates in my opinion on the Dallas Mavericks following the Nico Harrison firing are Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, and Daniel Gaffford. I don’t think they would ever trade Derek Lively. They’re obviously not going to trade Cooper Flag. And PJ Washington is ineligible to be traded right now as well. So obviously you think about the veterans first as they might have to go into a kind of a rebuild mode and try to build around Cooper flag and Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving make a lot of sense to potentially trade since they won’t be competing for a title within the next three to four years like Nico Harrison intended for them to be. And obviously Anthony Davis is the headliner and has been in the topic of conversation the most because he was the player acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers in the Luca Dona trade. And ESPN’s Tim McMahon said it’s uncertain what the trade market for Davis would be due to his durability issues. Although he’s still a dominant force on both ends of the floor when healthy. Several league sources were adamant that gauging the market over the upcoming months is due diligence that Dallas must undertake. And maybe shopped is a strong word to use here, but I do think Anthony Davis’s name will be floated on the trade market a ton. The new GM or president or whoever is running the ship for the Dallas Mavericks is going to want to make a splash move, if you will, to try to earn that job long term. We always see that with interm GMs. They usually never continue to hold that position past that season where they were the interimm unless they make some moves that are looked at consensus wise as elite great decisions. And I think trading Anthony Davis and getting some picks back is very much on the table and the interimm GM would be able to then go to the owner Patrick Dumont and said, “Well, look what I did here. I was given some situations and I was able to get us some picks and prioritize the future.” And Anthony Davis, as much as he is a polarizing figure in the NBA, is still extremely dominant when on the court. And I know it’s a big if and like a when he’s on the court, but he’s a consistent 20110 and two blocks a night guy while shooting 50% from the field. Now, his three-point shooting has declined, and you wonder if Bam and AD would be able to work together in the NBA, but with Bam’s improved three-point shooting before the injury, maybe they could. But the there is serious concerns when trading for Anthony Davis. There’s no sugar coating that, right? His contract, he’s getting paid max money, so 54 plus million dollars each of the next three seasons. And his obviously durability issues where he misses about 25 games a season. And you don’t ever know if he’s going to be active and healthy for the playoffs either. But him and BAM duo in the front court would be nasty. He’ll be the best defensive front court duo I think in NBA history. We saw that be the case in was it London Coupe? Yeah, London in the Olympics. And it would solve your rebounding issues because you would add AD and Bam. I’ll tell you what, who’s going to get offensive rebound when you’re putting AD and Bam down low? And it would certainly work defensively because the versatility those two guys display on that end. Bam could guard one through five. AD could guard three through five. I mean, it would be truly tremendous to watch those guys work on the glass as well as defensively and I think you would be able to solve the offensive issues. But then there’s the question as well in this new Heat system that has the number one pace in the NBA and is prioritized on speed and floor spacing. Would Anthony Davis even fit in this Heat kind of system? I have serious reservations about that as well, but we know the defense would work for sure and the rebounding would be awesome. Let me know what say you. Would you trade for Anthony Davis? Type T for trade or type P for pass? Let me know your thoughts down in the comments section down below. I want to share the contract for Anthony Davis. I mentioned he’s getting paid 54 plus million over the next three years. You obviously see his contract for this season, but then he’s got a oneplus one after this year. $58.4 million guaranteed next year, but then a $62.7 million player option. And alpha will be honest, I do think AD will opt into that contract rather than opt out and seek a larger extension because at this point in his career and with all the durability issues, I just don’t see a team paying him 60 plus million on a multi-year contract. So, I do think he would be in your building for two seasons after the rest of this year. So, here’s my trade idea for Anthony Davis, because I don’t think Anthony Davis’s trade value is that high due to his contract age and durability concerns. I think trading Andrew Wiggins, Terry Rosier, and a 2029 first round pick, which is top five protected, Miami likely won’t be picking in the top five. So, it’s basically going to Dallas there is very fair for Anthony Davis. And I know some Mavs fans here might say that’s not enough for AD. I don’t know if any Heat fans are going to say that’s too much for Anthony Davis. I certainly don’t believe so because if I am trading for AD and for all the reasons that I have outlined his age, his durability concerns, the ability to fit in this heat system and contract. I am not trading any of my young assets. I am not trading Tyler Herro. I am not trading Kelwar and I am not trading more than one first round pick. I think an expiring salary in Rosier, which I think the Mavericks would covet a lot and we’ll actually talk more about that in a little bit on the show, so stick around. A first round pick an Andrew Wiggins, a very solid player that has another year on his deal that would be expiring next year for $30 million or the Dallas Mavericks could flip it in the off season or at the next deadline for a pick in cap relief as well. Like I think the Mavericks will really prioritize salary cap relief for the future and draft capital if they ultimately trade Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis. I I just think that’s what the new GM would like to do if he wants to save his job. So getting $26 million and expiring in Rosier, a first round pick in 2029, which would give the Mavericks multiple first round picks that year by the way. and Wiggins, who’s a very average to above average player, but also not the worst contract in the world. Yeah, that’s something I think the Mavericks would seriously consider. Would the Heat get out bid? Maybe. But that would certainly be my offer for Anthony Davis. More coming up here in a second, but this episode is brought to you by Prize Picks. The weather is changing. It’s getting colder, but the feeling of being right on prize picks never gets old. So, get rolling with the basketball season when you can get $50 instantly when you play your first $5. Just pick more or less and at least two player stats. And if you get your picks right, you could cash in. Which players are going off? Which players are overhyped? Make your picks in less than 60 seconds and turn your takes into cash this season. I’m going to the football world for Thursday Night Football. More than Bree Hall touchdowns, more than Drake May completions, and more than Trayvon Henderson yards on his first carry.

As I’ve kind of went through the Anthony Davis trade discussion, what the offer would be, the contract, should Miami do it, the concerns, the positives, I’m ultimately passing on that trade. We know as Heat fans, this Heat team, as currently constructed, very unlikely to win the NBA Finals, but could be very competitive in the Eastern Conference. and we’re looking for the next superstar to join the Heat on the trademark or through the draft to ultimately elevate our ceiling to NBA title contenders. Although I do think Andy Davis when he’s on the court alongside a starting lineup that would potentially look like Bam, AD, Hero, Powell, and then like a Simone Fonteio or Hakez or a Yovic is among the best in the Eastern Conference and I think would probably be the second best team in the East alongside the Knicks when fully healthy. I think it’ be better than the Pistons and better than the Cavs. I I just don’t think you are going to win a title because there is just too much limitations to that team offensively and healthwise. So, I’m passing on the Davis trade. Too big of a swing. I want to hold on to my draft picks and future assets. So, I’m not trading for Anthony Davis. But, there is one real target on the Mavericks that I am very much in on going for. And the veteran that I want the Heat to trade for the most on the Mavs if Dallas was having a fire sale at the deadline would be big man Daniel Gaffford. The former Washington Wizard was traded to the Dallas Mavericks a couple years ago and helped spring that Mavericks team in 23 24 to the NBA finals. I mean he was a large reason why they had such a good postseason run and I think he would be a perfect addition for the Miami Heat. He is an uber efficient scorer on the rim. Now, he really isn’t going to do anything for you other than finish and pick and rolls or put backs on offensive rebounds, but he is very active on the glass and he is a imposing physical presence. 610, 235, uber athletic. He can jump out of the building. I think he would be a great addition to this Heat roster as that third big. I mean, a front court rotation of Bam Wear and Daniel Gaffford would be sensational. You could play Bam and Gaffford together. You could play Wear and Gaffford together because Wear’s ability to shoot threes at times. Um, you could play one of them and rest the other two. I think Gaffford is the ideal big man that is not expensive. He’s only making about $14.5 million a season. He’s still got three years under contract after this year. So, to me, this is not only an addition that’s relatively cheap contractually this year, but also for the next three years. It’s not that bad of a contract either. So, this is a player that I’m intrigued with. Excuse me. Make sure you do subscribe to the channel, though, because we are going to continue to bring you Heat content every day, live on Friday night for Heat Knicks, and we’ll have videos out in between every game. So, join the channel today. So, what would a Gaffford trade look like? It actually is a little bit of a tricky contract because Miami doesn’t really have a player making that, excuse me, 8 to 10, 8 to$14 million range. Gaffford making 14 and a half. So, I think this is an idea that works out for both sides. Coupe, who’s a Mavs fan, not really sold on the idea, but I’ll explain why I think the Mavs could be intrigued here. But Gaffford and Clay combined to make about $31 million. 14.4 for Gaffford and 16.6 six for Klay Thompson. Rosier makes 26.6. Larson on that rookie second round contract is at about $1.9 million. So, the Heat would have to eat about $2.4 million in this deal. But, I think it’s fine because you’re getting the two better players here. And you attach a second round pick in 2027. But why is this a deal I think Miami would be in on making as well as the Mavs potentially being interested? I think the Mavs would seriously covet that Terry Rosier contract. And for the people saying, “Well, you can’t trade Rosier. He’s put on leave from the NBA.” Well, I’ll challenge the NBA in that scumbag Adam Silver on this one. Because here’s the thing, Adam. If you’re not going to void the contract of Terara Rosier, give Miami the cap relief for the shenanigans that he had when he was not even playing for Miami and he was playing for the Charlotte Hornets. and then you okayed the Rosier trade to Miami knowing that he is under investigation. The Heat should absolutely be allowed to trade that contract. And the Mavericks knowing the issue should very well very well welcome Rosier into their locker room. Why? Well, you wouldn’t ever be in their locker room one. And if the trade happens and then the NBA voids it, well, the Mavericks get $26 million immediately in Kapperly. And if they don’t ever void it, well, they’re getting $26 million coming off of their books this upcoming off season. Klay Thompson’s got one more year left on his deal. It’s one of the worst contracts in the NBA. It’s not super long, but Klay Thompson has been so bad this year, borderline unplayable to where who wants to pay him $17 million next season. Certainly not the Dallas Mavericks. So, you would get relief from that. you would get a really good young player in Pel Larson who is good defensively and a really good connecting piece. It would hurt to part ways with them, but I would be willing to do that to add a third big in Daniel Gaffford and you would also have some playoff shooting experience off your bench and Klay Thompson as well and you only have to get rid of a second round pick. I would be willing to make that trade. It would hurt to get rid of Larson, but I would do it to get Daniel Gaffford. And I think the Mavs would be interested in taking on Rosier’s salary knowing that they’d have more flexibility to build their own Cooper flag going forward. As a Heat fan though, which trade do you prefer? Do you prefer the Anthony Davis deal where the Heat send a first round pick in 2029, Andrew Wiggins and Terra Rosir for Anthony Davis, type AD, or do you prefer that Daniel Gaffford trade type DG where you give up Rosier Larson in a second for Klay Thompson and Daniel Gaffford? Let me know your thoughts down below. Obviously, I kind of already said mine. I would much rather do the Daniel Gaffford trade because I don’t want to give up any first round picks in the future. I’m trying to hold on to all my first round picks uh so I can trade uh multiple in the future. Remember, the Heat will actually have three available first round picks to trade this off seasonason if they don’t make any other first round pick trades this deadline because once they get past 2026, you would be able to trade 29, 31, and 33 for a star. So, you’d have three tradable first round picks. You could also do a couple swaps um as well in 2030 and 2032. So, yeah, I’m trying to hold on to my first round picks for the future and I don’t think you need to give one up for Daniel Gaffford despite Coupe telling me you would. Andrew Wiggins couldn’t fetch a first round pick this last off season. News flash, Andrew Wiggins is better than Daniel Gaffford, so I don’t think a first round pick would be necessary for Mr. Gaffford. That’ll do it for today’s show. I mentioned we’ll be live tomorrow on the channel for Heat Knicks Friday night. NBA Cup basketball, by the way, in New York on the road. Hopefully Miami can get a bounceback win.
