Miami Heat

Overview:

The asterisk next to this trade is for Kelly Olynyk‘s player option. The Heat have a ton of money coming off the book this summer, and if Kelly Olynyk opts into his deal, the Hawks could take on his $13 million for cheap as Miami gears up for their other off-season ventures.

Why Atlanta says yes:

Kelly Olynyk is still a starting-caliber player who can stretch the floor. His deal would come off the books in one year and getting John Collins’ backup for two 2nd-rounders is very cheap.

Why Miami says yes:

As mentioned, the Heat are shaping themselves up for a big off-season, and walking away from Olynyk’s money would likely open them up for two max spots.

Why Atlanta says no:

Kelly Olynyk is already 29, and they could use those two second-rounders to draft and stash more young players.

Why Miami says no:

They may be able to get more on the market for Olynyk than two second-rounders.
