More on this storyline
Ira Winderman: Jamal Cain and Orlando Robinson are not on the Heat summer roster. Also not on the summer roster is Dru Smith, who was signed to a two-way contract this week but still is recovering from last season’s major knee injury and unable to play. -via Twitter @IraHeatBeat / July 3, 2024
Wes Goldberg: Heat choosing Thomas Bryant over Orlando Robinson (and limited center market) isn’t that surprising. Bryant won the third center job over Orlando by the end of the season. Robinson likely waived before July 15 guarantee date. -via Twitter @wcgoldberg / July 3, 2024
If DeRozan took that, Miami would be just below the second apron and would not be able to re-sign Caleb Martin or Haywood Highsmith, who remain in a holding pattern while both those players and the Heat explore all their options. The other option for DeRozan with Miami, which would get DeRozan a salary more in line with his production: If the Heat trades a player earning decent money to a team with cap space — either for draft picks or a player making significantly less. That would be necessary to do a sign-and-trade with the Bulls, because teams above the first apron cannot make sign-and-trades. The Heat has 11 players under contract, not counting Orlando Robinson, whose $2.2 million salary isn’t guaranteed. If Robinson is removed from the equation, the Heat’s payroll – from a tax/cap calculation standpoint – is $180.2 million, counting minimum cap holds for two open roster spots. -via Miami Herald / July 2, 2024
