In an effort to build upon the team that reached the NBA Finals in 2022–23, the Miami Heat have been active in the free agent market this summer.
However, there have been some casualties as a result of Miami’s actions. Guard Gabe Vincent reportedly left the organization for the Los Angeles Lakers. In the 2022–23 season, Vincent started 34 games for Miami and recently signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Lakers.
The Heat also appear to be on the verge of losing sharpshooter Max Strus this offseason. Strus appears to be heading to the Cleveland Cavaliers if the sides can work out a sign-and-trade. Nothing is official on Strus yet, but there have been reports of him signing a four-year, $64 million deal that would be used in the sign-and-trade with Cleveland.
The Heat have brought back one player from the 2022-23 season’s roster and added a former Heat guard to the roster on a value deal.
Here’s a breakdown of each of Miami’s signings at this point in free agency:
The Heat allegedly signed guard Josh Richardson to a two-year deal after selecting him in the second round.
A player option for the next season is included in the veteran minimum contract.
