The Miami Heat gave up two future first-round picks in exchange for Goran Dragic in February 2015 — one that the Heat will confer this year, and another in 2021. Back then, it was a trade to get a proven quality talent now for some unknown quantity years into the future.

But with the revelation about possible changes to NBA Draft eligibility, giving up that pick could end up proving costly for Miami.

According to ESPN, the NBA sent teams a memo last Friday saying that the league’s “one-and-done” rule could end as early as the 2021 Draft.
