I have seen SO many bad takes on this subreddit proposing who and what the Miami Heat must give up to get a new superstar. 

In actuality, it won't be that much at all because the teams who are sellers are stocked like the toilet paper section of the grocery store during COVID. 

Phoenix has barely any draft capital and a team with a maxed-out payroll from hell ($450MM per year) on a can't even make the Play-In team, which only has one movable piece - KD. Just getting cap relief, freeing up the logjam around the ball, and obtaining some young talent and cap space in the nearer future than the 27-28 season is a HUGE win for them.

Milwaukee's roster is in just as bad a position, and their only movable guy is Giannis, who is also the total center and lynchpin of their team. At least they're not paying an NBA record to miss the playoffs, but leaving in Round 1 isn't much to show for a two-Superstar team. So if they're rebuilding, they need a horde of young players, picks, and more... they need more, and they have a better, more recent MVP to trade away.

And these are just the obvious trades. Jimmy Butler was just as obvious going into the summer of 2019 and the Heat's trade assets were fairly similar. In the end, we moved Whiteside's expiring contract, J-Rich's reasonable for the production deal and a 1st round pick swap to move down 5 spots in 2025 (this draft, six long seasons later) in exchange for Jimmy's multi-Finals run, plus Kyle, Davion and Wiggins. Think about how great a trade that became! 

It can be done again... 

Here's what a realistic trade package for KD looks like...
