If the Heat is willing to trade Winslow for 16,23,31,45 - Take the deal?

[Tr1boy]

Without Bosh (and could be forever)  , Whiteside could walk and so could Dwade (to join his buddy Lebron)

The heat will need to stock up talent quickly.   If they wanted the above picks plus say RJ Hunter (for Salary matching)  ,  would you say yes?

[Donoghus]

Why the heck would MIA ever do that trade?

[cltc5]

No.  We can get some nice talent with those first picks.  Swinging with one guy isn't the smartest move if he's not a star player

[Evantime34]

No way Miami would do this, but the C's absolutely would imo.

This type of deal is exactly the type of draft pick consolidation deal we will be looking to make.

[Surferdad]

This is an absolute lose-lose scenario.  C's get what looks like a decent player (not sure if he will be an all-star) but give up many valuable picks.  Heat lose their best young player, along with Whiteside and Wade AND don't get back a lottery pick.  LOSE LOSE LOSE!!!

No, we got Crowder.

[Tr1boy]

No, we got Crowder.

yes but as of now we don't have Turner and who knows if he will be back

If Danny loved Winslow yesterday, I doubt he is "sick of him" this quickly

The guy did very well to help the Heat make it to the eastern semis. 

Just don't think he is "corner stone" material and the Heat will need to add  talent across the talent

Exactly

It's a good trade for both teams imo.  Winslow is not worth much more

[Tr1boy]

Why the heck would MIA ever do that trade?

Bc they can possible lose a lot in the offseason.  No whiteside (tbh I think he walks) ,  no wade (joins lebron),  no Deng,  no Bosh (career ending?)

I mean they will really stink next season. 

Not that these picks will help them alot but they can pickup a pretty good SF, PF, C, SG etc

rebuild in a more balanced way

[aingeforthree]

Heck yes you do that trade. A legit prospect who has a shot at being valuable on any team in the very near future.  Great defender, and still only 20.

[Tr1boy]

Heat can get Valentine, Diallo, Bentil, Brogdon with all those picks

Not bad~~

It's quality over quantity here.  It's most likely (actually, very likely) that Winslow will be better than any of those draft picks. 

Trading their best young prospect for #16, #23, #31, & #45 makes little to no sense for MIA.  Out of that draft haul, best case scenario, they'd be lucky to get two starters.  Probably only one and that one will most likely be worse than Winslow.   #23 probably ends up projecting to be a depth guy.

Then you're getting two picks in #31 & #45 that most likely don't make the roster. 

So you're looking at a situation where MIA trades Winslow for one inferior starter, probably a rotation to end of the bench guy, & two players who won't even make the roster.

Makes no sense for MIA.

If they're so good why wouldn't we just take them? i don't get your logic at all.

and what is Winslow exactly??

I would like him aboard, but he is no cornerstone player. Maybe not even a starter on half the teams around the league

He would be a much better fit under the celtics vs Miami imo.   Matter of fact, his defense and 3 pt shooting was misused/underutilized .  Its just not the best fit

Like I mentioned Heat could grab a combination of Valentine (and they are interested in Turner, so Turner like SF) , Diallo  ,  Bentil ,  Brogdon  .  Just as an example.   each of these guys have a chance to look like steals down the line (this is a wildcard draft no doubt)
 
Saying this, why should the Celtics then make this trade?  Bc we can't afford to "nurse"  these many rookies next season.   It's not possible.   So you bring a guy like Winslow who is not only a very good fit under CBS but also has some potential to become better (but under the right system again)

I think its a pretty good trade off for both
