Miami Heat Receive: LaMarcus Aldridge, Luka Samantic

San Antonio Spurs Receive: Kelly Olynyk, KZ Okpala, Chris Silva, 2022 2nd Round Pick (via PHI or DEN — less favorable)

LaMarcus Aldridge would solidify the frontcourt along with Bam Adebayo and Precious Achiuwa. He is still an elite mid-range shooter and scorer in the post that can step out and hit from beyond the arc.

So far this season, Aldridge is averaging 13.6 points this season on 42.3% shooting from the field. With the Heat, he would be a complementary option which would help his game even further.

Miami has some pieces to send to San Antonio. It begins with getting rid of the contract of Kelly Olynyk. This is a short-term deal that would not impact the Spurs. KZ Okpala and Chris Silva are other prospects that could grow in San Antonio.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal centered around LaMarcus Aldridge would benefit both the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs.
