Well, this has been an interesting summer for the Miami Heat. After an early exit in last season’s playoffs, the team roster has seen many changes. Miami has brought in three new pieces in Kyle Lowry, Markieff Morris, and P.J. Tucker.
The Miami Heat acquired Kyle Lowry last week in a sign-and-trade agreement with the Toronto Raptors. Even though they’re currently being investigated for tampering, the move is not expected to be voided. So Miami should keep its new point guard.
While the Miami Heat are having a successful free agency so far, they may need to lock in one of their current free agents. Heat summer league standout, Omer Yurtseven has dominated his first two games with the Heat’s summer league squad.
August 2nd marked the first day of Free Agency, but it appears that free agency already started before then. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Miami Heat was viewed as favorites to land Kyle Lowry on Sunday. Miami is expected to include Goran Dragic and Precious Achuiwa in a sign-and-trade deal for Lowry. Wojnarowski also noted that other Lowry suitors–Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans–are starting to look elsewhere. Even though Lowry seems likely, Miami is still looking for more.
The 2021 NBA Draft night went by without any moves from the Miami Heat. The Heat had the opportunity to use their available $5.6 million cash to buy a second-round pick but didn’t. However, Miami’s next opportunity comes tomorrow with free agency opening up.
The Miami Heat have been pursuing Bradley Beal for years. Despite the Heat’s interest, the Washington Wizards guard has remained loyal to the franchise with hopes of winning there. He led the team to the playoffs after a slow start to the season. But now, the Wizards guard could be considering a move elsewhere.
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry will be one of the prized free agents in next month’s free agency. Lowry was the most coveted player at the 2021 trade deadline with several teams trying to land him.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton is reportedly available in the trade market. According to The Athletic’s Jason Lloyd, the team is not willing to pay the young guard a rookie max extension. However, rumors of the guard potentially being traded are nothing new.
Unlike the previous season, the Los Angeles Clippers put up a better fight in 2020-21. However, Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns were too much to handle.
It is now official. Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo will join the United States national team’s 12-man roster. This will be Adebayo’s first appearance on the national team. Two summers ago, Adebayo was cut from the national team.
Anytime there are multiple star players on the roster, there’s pressure to win it all. And the Brooklyn Nets had three stars in James Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant. Unfortunately, they were unable to make the conference finals after losing to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 7 of the semifinals. It was an epic final game of the year, highlighted by a historic performance from Durant, whose 48 points were the most ever in an NBA playoff Game 7. The Nets went shot for shot with Milwaukee through the second half with 20 lead changes and 10 ties. But in the end, Milwaukee was victorious.
The Miami Heat need to make some moves this offseason. One primary need is a three-level scorer. Someone who can score inside the paint, mid-range, and beyond the arc. Miami definitely lacked that in their playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks.
