Yes. I mean, it was understandable they were willing to part with him in order to get a perennial All-Star like Lillard. But unless another player of that caliber becomes available, there's no reason for Miami to trade a prolific scorer in his prime like Herro.

What’s a reasonable return for Luke Kennard at the deadline?

Doubt they'd get much for him. He'll give you scoring off the bench but I don't see anyone giving up a future firster for him. Perhaps some second-round capital.

A lot of Orland questions so I’ll join in…. Watching them play, it actually looks like Franz is a better player than Paolo, do you think they contemplate swapping the pecking order to see if he’s the lead guy, particularly offensively?

I don't think it's a big deal either way. They'll both get their opportunities in crunch time, they don't have to rely on one or the other. It's a nice luxury to have.

unfortunately,  there comes a time...let Klay walk after the season, and allocate his 45mil toward younger, proven players?

The Warriors have a tough decision to make but I think it's telling that there's no movement on extension talks. I'd like to see the Splash Brothers play their whole careers with the organization, that would be cool, but Klay will have to come down in contract demands for that to happen.

Regarding your question. Knicks/Bucks- Bucks win by a distance. The likes of Giannis, Lillard and co are not only a much better team. They all have the history of performing under pressure. Whereas Knicks, although looking good, aren’t good enough to get it over the line competitively. Randle is either be okay/good, or abysmal shooting 20%. It’ll be Brunson killing himself to stay in the game carrying the rest of the team. Again their D is good but they’re not guarding a competitive Giannis & Dame.

Relevant points but the Knicks have been playing well lately. I smell an upset brewing there, though Dame could have one of those patented finishes where he knocks down a couple of huge 3s to win it for his team. I also like the Lakers' chances against the Suns. Could be one of those games where LeBron and AD rise up and reassert themselves.
That's all the time we have for today. Join Luke for our next chat on Thursday.
