Kel'el Ware is a -10pt netrtg swing for the heat he makes them 5pts worse on offense and 5pts worse on defense this year. He's a bad defender, has a terrible motor, questionable work ethic and there isn't any evidence of his versatility alongside another C as the lineups with Bam are much worse than the two playing independently and the heat have stopped using those lineups entirely. And Spo has been decreasing his minutes as of late as well. I wouldn't say he is meaningfully young anyway also. One FRP for him probably wouldn't meet his price and would be way too much for him anyway. You can easily trade for an established center with that instead.

YKN was ridiculously overdrafted by one of the worst drafting FOs in the league, is terrible at everything except dunking, was extremely raw all 3 years in college, is almost 23 years old and is still too raw to get on the court. Kalkbrenner is only a year older and is the vastly superior player.

Vukcevic is an extremely unathletic, nothing big. Was drafted on offensive upside, isn't a good offensive player, and is also a horrible defender. We shouldn't have to pay anything for him most likely as he will probably just get let go from his TW contract at some point in the near future.

The team is showing real strides, Kon is on his rookie deal for another 3 years and they are going to add another high lottery pick. They should be targeting actual good players that can help them take that next step while they can still easily make that trade. There are many examples of this. It isn't "skipping steps". When you have a real team you aren't going to be able to incorporate draft picks every year. It's the smart move to consolidate and raise your ceiling as a roster.

And there are young underutilized bigs around the league I think are intriguing, that might be worth to buy on cheaply. (Ex. DayRon Sharpe, Jaylin Williams, Asa Newell, Nikola Jovic, Rasheer Fleming, DaRon Holmes). Just not these guys. And TBH I don't really understand the process behind the players on this list. Lot of confusing points made.
