Golden State Warriors - Miami Heat

[The Bean Regime]

Warriors Send:
Oscar da Silva
2025 1st (whichever it is after the Raptors swap from the previous deal - viewtopic.php?f=27&t=30382 )

Heat Send:
Nikola Vucevic

Accept. Whaddya know, Vucevic is back. Hmm. Wonder if he's an upgrade.

Was going to have 79m in cap this offseason (assuming a Brown resign for max). Needed to cut it somewhere. With Brown, one of da Silva or Spellman would be expendable, and I was going to have to deal the 1st somewhere regardless. Good dealing.

Deal

However I don't like this for Warriors.
Likely Afflalo is going to retire.
I would think you could trade that 1st and a couple players for an upgrade, not a downgrade in player.
Or trade that 1st for a future first. Or trade a player for a future 1st. This just seems like you're giving away a 1st.

On the Heat side, nice job.
It's not often you can have the league's best record and trade one of your aging backups and get a 1st out of it.

Free first for the Heat but Silva is a worse player right now than Vucevic so it might hurt their 2nd unit.
