3. Bismack Biyombo

A bit of a risky choice, but Biyombo is younger and cheaper option with plenty of upside. The 23-year-old center bursted onto the scene this postseason, proving his worth on both ends of the court.

Biyombo is a dangerous choice because he’s relatively unproven, and he might be more of a project rather than an immediate contributor. The Heat have a few promising young pieces, but the overall mission of this team is to win now, and Biyombo might be still be too raw.

It’s probably a long shot, but Biyombo could essentially be Whiteside for a discounted price. It’s also worth noting that Biyombo has a player option which means he might not even be a free agent.
