The Miami Heat continue their NBA Summer League in Las Vegas with Saturday’s early 3:00pm game against the Boston Celtics in the Cox Pavilion.
Heat rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. will not play today due to a shoulder injury sustained earlier this week during the team’s previous Summer League game. Jamaree Bouyea (sprained right ankle) is also out.
*Likely to be included in Lillard trade: Martin, Jaquez, Jovic, ORobinson, Herro (to be traded to third team such as Brooklyn), plus 2 first round picks and player(s) and pick(s) from third team.
MIAMI ROSTER POST LILLARD TRADE
PG: Lillard, Dru, ?
SG: Richardson, DRobinson, ?
SF: Butler, Cain, ?
PF: Love, Highsmith, ?
C: Bam, Bryant, ?
Assuming Riley can ultimately work out a deal with Portland, possibly giving up Herro, Martin, Jaquez, Jovic, ORobinson, and 2-3 draft picks sounds like mortgaging the Heat's future for one player. I, for one, don't think it is worth it. I would prefer to keep our young players and draft picks and explore other options. Personally, I think Jovic, Jaquez and ORobinson have potential to be very good rotation players. With the acquisition of Bryant and the development of ORobinson, the Heat can be a very good team, if Pat can work out a trade for a good starting PG.
The following article helped me to crystalize my opinion on this matter.

The Big Four with Orlando Robinson in the mix with Jimmy B, Bam, and Damian.
I was not pleased that Peterson was not involved by his team mates. He was open several times but got no pass. The main culprit was Dru.
Dion Waiters and Harry Giles III plan to hold workouts for teams...
Gummies!!!!
Great game.
That game was nothing short of awesome.
So who needs Dame?! lol
Lets go summer leaguers, undrafteds!!
Orlando a beast 💪
Orlando playing great right now, that big and big duo looks good together.
Jovic with a post move I like it.
He grew 2 inches as well.
Jovic looking solid
