Miami Heat
Dallas Mavericks Receive: F/C Bam Adebayo, G Tyler Herro, 2028 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2030 First-Round Pick (MIA)
Miami Heat Receive: G/F Luka Doncic
Of course, there is another complicating factor in all of this. His name is Kyrie Irving.
If the Mavericks lose him in free agency, would Doncic demand a trade? Or, is it possible that Doncic hasn’t enjoyed playing with Irving? Who can say?
Either way, let’s imagine a scenario where the Mavericks retain Irving, and Doncic demands a trade anyway. In that event, this is an interesting deal.
A core group of Irving, Bam Adebayo, and Tyler Herro is almost certain to keep the Mavericks in the playoffs.

With that said, even without Irving, this is a solid return. The Mavericks are landing two stars (and two first-round picks) at the price of a bigger one.
With that said, one wonders if they could flip Doncic for a fellow superstar.
