Here's a fun article to read:
(and while I think we're actually well beyond making Heat comparisons it just illustrates how poorly they used their assets or flat out didn't have them to assemble new talent to the team after the initial Summer of 2010 frenzy and by comparison shows how many more bullets we still have in the chamber, which I'm sure is something Griffin/Gilbert sold LeBron/Paul on. I mean the Heat amestied Mike Miller and have up a future 1st in the same summer simply to get rid of Joel Anthony and get under the repeater tax)

The Heat played a role in the Saturday trade that delivered Kevin Love to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, a deal that allowed the Minnesota Timberwolves to replace Love with Philadelphia 76ers forward Thaddeus Young.
As part of the trade, the Cavaliers forwarded a lottery-protected first-round NBA Draftpick from the Heat to the Timberwolves, with Minnesota then forwarding the pick to Philadelphia.
The pick is the third and final one due from the Heat from the July 2010 sign-and-trade deal that allowed them to sign James to a larger contract as a free agent that summer. The pick is protected through the first 10 selections in both 2015 and 2016. If it is not forwarded by then, it becomes unprotected in 2017.
It is therefore possible that if the Heat miss the playoffs either this coming season or in 2015-16, they also could be without a first-round pick in 2015 or '16. Should the Heat make this playoffs this coming season, as forecast, they would be without their own first-round pick for the sixth time in seven years.
It is the second time in seven months a Heat first-round pick has been in play.
In January, the Heat sent a lottery-protected first-round pick due from the 76ers to the Boston Celtics as a means of unloading the salary of center Joel Anthony. That pick reverts to a pair of second-round picks if Philadelphia does not make the playoffs this season.
The last time the Heat selected and kept a player at their own first-round draft slot was when they selected Michael Beasley with the No. 2 pick in the 2008 draft.
The Heat remain in possession of their 2016 and subsequent first-round picks.
