The Miami Heat are expected to have interest in Donovan Mitchell.

Who do they give up though? Herro?

I know it wouldn’t happen, but who says no in a Adebayo & Herro for Mitchell & Allen trade?

I agree, but that is basically the only option they have as other teams will easily outbid any package without Bam. 

If the Cavs do throw in the towel on Mitchell, there will be a massive bidding war I think.  The Cavs should be able to do quite well as both NY, both LA, Miami, probably Golden State and at least a few other playoff level teams will be interested.

Home run for Miami if I do say so myself. That is a much stronger Heat team and a much weaker Cavs team post trade.

J Allen provides much more to a team than Herro does. I wasn't sure about a D Mitchell for Bam swap but if you are getting a quality replacement at center like J Allen in the deal as well, that is a fantastic move.

Rockets gave up 77pts at halftime…  :-X

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I agree. They wouldn’t trade him for Lillard. They sure aren’t going to trade him for Mitchell.

Anthony Davis now injured also, seems unlikely to return. Lakers in big trouble. Teams gotta be watching this and thinking about the IST next season and putting the extra minutes and games on stars. Obviously this all could happen but playing injury prone players like ad and very old players like Lebron extra minutes and games is a risk. Maintain I am happy Celtics got knocked out.

If he's out at least through Christmas, then I think the C's might actually pull the win in Crypto. But our Tatum is also on a rolled ankle.

Embiid with 51 in a win over the wolves

Bucks and 76ers both starting to look more and more legit. Gonna be tough to get the 1 seed

He has come back in. I have forgot Davis leads the league in exiting games with injuries/writhing around and then returning. He looks gimpy though and the lakers playing him down 12 halfway through the 4th seems like a classic ham move. Ham and Joe have a lot of same issues…

Unless CBS is having an error in their app it looks like bucks play their tenth straight home game tomorrow? How is that possible? Either way the best team they have played in this stretch is either the Knicks or pacers. Unclear if they are actually playing better from this stretch

Bucks are a half game behind us and are still figuring it out/not playing well. I’m not sold on the coach long term but I do expect them to pass us in the standings soon. Just like they did last season after we started 20-5.

Per ESPN, tomorrow's game will be their 9th straight home game.  Then their next 7 of 8 games will be road games.
