AUCH’s Damian Lillard gut check: Will the Heat get their man?
By Wes Goldberg
If Lillard does end up in Miami, what’s your best guess as to what the trade package will be?
Escarpio: The Miami Heat will likely send two-to-three first-round picks, along with Kyle Lowry, Nikola Jovic and Caleb Martin.
Sims: I see a three-team trade being most likely with some team taking on flame-thrower Tyler Herro. Plus two first-round draft picks, one of Nikola Jovic or Jamie Jaquez Jr., and Kyle Lowry will probably head to Portland.
Masood: My bet would be Herro, all of Miami’s allowable draft capital, and Nikola Jović plus whatever contract flotsam (Robinson or Lowry) is required to make the salaries match.
Coelho: I can see Herro heading to some of the third-teams speculated (Brooklyn is my guess), while Miami sends multiple firsts to Portland. As for players, probably Lowry, Jovic and Jaquez would go to the Blazers.
