Miami Heat Receive: G Kemba Walker
Oklahoma City Thunder Receive: G Tyler Herro, F/C Precious Achiuwa, G Goran Dragic (team option)

This would be a steep price for the Heat to pay, but if they do not want to adjust the protections on the 2023 first-round pick or send another pick to Oklahoma City in the future, this is one way to do it.

The Heat still lands their new point guard in Kemba Walker, but surrender their two best trade chips to accomplish that. Tyler Herro has a strong chance of being moved this season and could be used to help land, Walker.

The former Kentucky product had an up-and-down sophomore season in Miami, as he could not replicate the same success he had in the Orlando Bubble. But, he is the exact kind of player the Thunder would be looking to add to their roster, as he is still a young player but improves the roster so they can win some games.

Precious Achiuwa is a raw frontcourt player that has some potential with his athleticism. He would help fill minutes in a Thunder frontcourt that doesn’t currently have too many building blocks. He averaged 5.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per game.

Again, Goran Dragic is added to help get the salaries closer together. The presence of Herro and Achiuwa is enough for the Thunder to not ask for future draft compensation in return.
