So I think at this point there's actually been too much dunking on the Heat-Giannis trade package.
Herro- Was injured last year but he's only one year removed from being a very deserving all-star and is only 26.
Ware (#15 in 24')- Very intriguing young 3+D center prospect.
Jaquez (#18 in 23')- Averaged 15/5/5, solid starting SF caliber player at 25 years old.
Jakucionis (#20 in 25')- 20 year old who showed some flashes as a rookie SG.
13th pick is decent
Likely 2 picks between 2029 and 2032. Those are Giannis' age 34-37 years. Those could be VERY good picks if Giannis ages poorly.
That's one all-star level flier/rehabilitation project, 3 former first round picks on rookie contracts, and three pretty decent future firsts. There isn't a top tier level asset or player, but there's a pretty decent depth of talent and potentially a ton of salary relief. You might be able to then flip Hero or Turner for additional assets mid-season.
Like is that package so much worse than let's say
Risacher, Kuminga, #8 and two future firsts from Atlanta? I don't really think so.
Its obviously worse than getting your own pick back from Portland, but it's not a pile of garbage by any means for a guy with one year left on his deal.
