Trade Idea: Celtics - Heat

[Ed Monix]

Saw this idea online and thought it was at least worth a discussion.

Celtics: Robinson, Love, 2026 2nd round pick (via Lakers)

Heat: Brogdon

———

Obviously this would only happen if the Heat’s Liliard trade negotiations fell through, and only after October 4th due to Love recently signing an extension.

No, if Broggy healthy this is a big win for Heat.

[Goldstar88]

Trade the 6th man of the year for a guy that Spolestra benched for half the season and a washed up Kevin Love? That’s a hard pass for me.

[celticinorlando]

No thanks. Brogdan is a key piece to this team.

[Celtics2021]

There are some bad ideas floating around the internet.  This is one of them.

Trade the 6th man of the year for a guy that Spolestra benched for half the season and a washed up Kevin Love? That’s a hard pass for me.

Robinson was dropped by Spoelstra because defensively Miami couldn’t play him and Herro together. The Heat actually improved when Herro was injured and they replaced him with Vincent. Love asked to leave because he lost his spot to Mobley, and as you can see he was integral to Miami’s run to the Finals.

I know it’s not the greatest trade idea but it does have its merits. Obviously Brogdon is the superior player but I posted it because of the fit and it helps the Celtics depth.

Robinson’s defensive liabilities are less visible if he was on the Celtics & he offers off ball movement and elite shooting, both of which the Celtics are lacking. Love would be a great back up to Horford & playing with Williams would mitigate his defensive frailties.

I don't think we have the passing to utilize that off ball movement.

He can run off ball but if Tatum, Jaylen and Porzingis are all playing one-on-one ball ... it ain't gonna matter much.

Duncan Robinson looks good in Miami because they have Bam who can they run the offense through in the high post. We used to that with Al Horford but we don't anymore and we will do it even less next year because those 3 prolific scorers need the ball so Horford will see even less of it.

I was thinking more curling off of pindown screens like Ray Allen.

I'd rather do some modified version of the trade with the Clippers than this one.

[Celtics4ever]

Was it this trade from this site?  This doesn't look exactly like the same trade but somewhat similar.

NBA Analysis Network is absolute garbage with no sources.  All they do is make up stuff for clicks.

I guess the goal of this trade is to get more shooting?  Brogdon was 44% from 3 last season.  And I have no interest in Kevin Love.  I would rather have Blake Griffin.  Let MIA pay Kevin Love $4M and he has a player option for the season after.  I rather not help them out to dump him on the Celtics.  I am seeing that he signed this contact on July 6 so I am not even sure he can be traded.  I guess he would become eligible for trade in what, October?

I am good with Malcolm, or if he is so upset that he wants to be traded, we can do better.

Hard no on Duncan Robinson.

I do not like him in a house. I do not like him with a mouse. I would not, could not, in the rain. Not in the dark. Not on a train. Not in a car. Not in a tree. I would not like him here or there. I would not like him anywhere.

[Irish Stew]

I believe that most of Brogdon's problems in the playoffs were caused by injuries. If he's healthy, why trade him? If he is damaged goods, why would Miami want him?
