My end goal here is for the Mavs to find a way to end up with Herro+Ayton for Kyrie. Lofty? Perhaps. But both teams have needs I think are symbiotic. PHX needs to cut salary (and get depth). Heat want to cut salary and get a star. Mavs have the star, and a few contracts that are easy to waive. Is there a world where the Mavs-Heat-PHX can conjure up a 3-team trade where the Mavs send out Kyrie, Heat add the necessary filler to PHX+send Herro to Dallas, and PHX sends Ayton to Dallas.
Were you thinking Herro is a particular solution to the cap obstacle for MIA? He's just a player with a $27M contract.
In theory that almost works for DAL (they would have to send another salary out, which could be a SNT minimum for Franky or Markieff).
But "the necessary filler" from MIA to PHX is the issue, and problematic, as there's not set of players to send that can make the trade CBA-legal - plus, it's murky how any of it fits what PHX would likely be looking for.
