On the Heat side, they aren’t hard-capped, but they are only $1,638,713 under the second apron. Both sides can aggregate salaries, but these margins are really tight. Like pants the day after Thanksgiving tight. You put in an extra player on the Miami side, and the deal isn’t legal on the Golden State side. You switch out one player for another on the Warriors side and it isn’t legal on the Heat side. Because of that, we’re going to add in the Detroit Pistons as a facilitator. Proposed trade: Miami Heat acquire Jonathan Kuminga, De’Anthony Melton, Andrew Wiggins from Golden State, top-55 protected second-round pick from Detroit. Golden State Warriors acquire Jimmy Butler. Detroit Pistons acquire Gary Payton II
