I agreed with you most part but you gotta find a better example than the Zo to Mavs for NVE and Bradley trade. In this case Miami will get the extra $18 millions profit but you have to realize that Zo's contract runs out this year and NVE and Bradley still have long way to go. The Heat will gain $18 millions next year but put themselves into trouble in the next 4 years at least. If they do this trade the Heat will loss a combine of $52 millions in next 6 years until Bradley's contract is up(NVE's $50 millions + Bradley's $40 millions - Zo's $20 millions - $18 millions).
I know you were just trying to prove your points but please find a better example
EDIT: I wasn't sure about the salaries but those should be close.

Dude, yep, you're right, it's a terrible trade for a lot of reasons for Miami. But the point here is that it is a QUICK FIX. Problems down the road for Miami? ABSOLUTELY. But it WOULD prevent the Heat from losing a TON of money next year because of the luxury tax issue.
The Vin Baker trade was a quick fix. The Celtics, by making that deal, avoided entering luxury tax territory. Problems down the line? ABSOLUTELY. It's a quick fix, a desperate move.
Expect more quick fixes and moves even MORE desperate than the Vin Baker trade over the next several weeks.
