Who has the more ridiculous contract, Duncan Robinson, Strus, or Bertans?

Bertans deal is as good as you are going to get to an expiring, so it's not too bad anymore. It was probably the worst of these 3 in all honesty.

It's 17 million this year which OKC didn't really care about using anyway. Next year it will decrease to 5 million unless he appears in 75% of games this season in which case it's fully guaranteed. Obviously, they just won't play him enough games for it to matter.
 
How would Miami get Dame without giving up anything significant, or is that even possible ? They already lost Strus and Vincent, and it would take Herro, Duncan, etc to get that deal done. Who’s left?

Haslam coming out of retirement. He’s back.

Man this is what I was thinking. People saying Suns got no depth, but dont say nothing about the Heat when/if they trade for Dame?

Can include the Lowry contract (expiring, so gets $ off the books after this year). Portland says they want a different asset instead of Herro, so Miami is looking for a third team to flip Herro for assets that Portland would want.

Miami will trade: Lowry (expiring), Herro, Duncan Robinson (if he has any value), Picks + pick swaps, their first rounder they just picked, and any of those young guys Portland would want (Jovic and Haysmith?).

Main remaining would be: Jimmy, Bam, Dame, Caleb Martin -- Josh Richardson, Kevin love to his 10-20 bench minutes, then they'd fill out rest with veteran minimums similar to Phoenix

Portland: Trade Dame, try to get Rid of Nurkic contract (doesn't fit rebuild, on contract to 2026), get picks young/talent
