In a stunning turn of events, the Miami Heat have traded Haywood Highsmith, along with a 2032 second-round pick, to the Brooklyn Nets for a protected 2026 second-round pick. The move has sent shockwaves through the NBA community, prompting Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green to take to social media with a biting response. “Look what you’ve done, Jimbo,” he taunted, tagging Heat superstar Jimmy Butler, who humorously deflected blame, insisting, “Don’t put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby.”
The banter didn’t stop there. Draymond took to Threads, mocking the internet experts who suggested Butler should come off the bench for Highsmith, only to see the Heat trade him for “a bag of chips.” The fallout from this trade is palpable, and fans are left questioning the Heat’s strategy as they also announced the signing of Drew Smith to a three-year contract. Smith, who has battled back from two season-ending injuries, joins a team now under scrutiny.
Meanwhile, in an unexpected twist, Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic has been generating buzz for a potential dunk contest appearance. Footage of Jokic throwing down a jaw-dropping dunk during warm-ups for a Serbia exhibition game has fans clamoring for his participation. “I did not know he had hops like this,” one commentator exclaimed, highlighting Jokic’s fresh and explosive energy.
