2019-20 Miami Heat

2018-19: 39-43
Draft picks: 13

Signed for next season ($129.5m): Hassan Whiteside, Goran Dragic, Ryan Anderson, James Johnson, Justice Winslow, Dion Waiters, Kelly Olynyk, Josh Richardson, Bam Adebayo, Derrick Jones
Whiteside (1yr/$27m), Dragic (1yr/$19.2m), Ryan Anderson (1yr/$15.6m) are all available and I expect none to be there past next summer. I think Dragic can still play, I'm sure somebody thinks they can get a badass season out of Whiteside and even Anderson could totally be a surprise off the bench (how about for the Warriors?) if he gets waived. Since these guys are all trade bait, I reckon the Heat'll try to play them, at least early on.
Johnson (2yrs/$31.3m), Waiters (2yrs/$24.7m), Olynyk (2yrs/$23.7m) are the next tier of guys likely playing for a ticket out of Miami. These contracts are not great but they're not terrible so they may look tasty to somebody out there throughout the year. I think the Heat are just showing off all these guys for the trade deadline.
Winslow (3yr/$39m) and Richardson (3yr/$32.5m) and Adebayo (rookie contract) are the future but if the right deal came along, I can see them getting moved, too.


This summer's free agents: (none)
Dwayne Wade and Udonis Haslem both finally retired, kudos to both for making so god damn much money!


#13 is their only pick and if it could be packaged in a trade, I wouldn't be shocked to see it go. But if they do use it, I'd think Keldon Johnson (Kentucky), Tyler Herro (Kentucky) or Nickael Alexander-Walker (Virginia Tech) might interest them here because they could use all the athletic wing scoring they can get.

Next year's lineup:
PG Dragic, SG Richardson, SF Winslow, PF Adebayo, C Whiteside with Jones, Waiters, Anderson, Johnson, Olynyk and #13 off the bench.

There's too many moves for them to make to feel like this is what their lineup will actually look like next year. Say, for example, Kawhi leaves Toronto and the Raptors are ready to tear it all down, could Dragic and Johnson for Lowry be interesting for them? Or how about Waiters and Olynyk for Serge Ibaka? How about swapping Anderson for Ian Mahinmi and then cutting him? Could they tempt the Cavs to give 4 years of Kevin Love for 1 year of Hassan Whiteside? I dunno about any of those moves but they'll be wheeling and dealing this summer, I'm sure.
