Aren’t those 30 mil coming off the books next year regardless even if he isn’t included? He is in the final year of his deal.
If he is included in the deal they would need back player of equal value that is also 30 Mil expiring, that just wouldn't be feasible because he is trade filler to make the salary's match, unless of course Duncan also goes in the Deal then you could get albeit less money in expiring's maybe something like 18-24 mil. What I am saying is Miami would rather not send him out in the Lillard package, so they can take advantage of his expiring deal next year to keep them under the 2nd apron.
Which makes sense why we are hearing Herro & Duncan, plus 2 FRP's being the current deal in place.
