Miami Heat Free Agency: Let’s look at a few options at every position
By Sam Allen
Power Forward
Paul Millsap
Last Season: 11.6 PPG, 1.6 APG, 5.7 RPG, 48.2 FG%, 43.5 3P%, 81.6 FT%
This is tough.
Paul Millsap has been good for a long time, but last season was easily his worst year as a pro. A change of scenery could spark some life back into him and if anyone is good at getting more out of a player, it’s Spo.
Heck, the Miami Heat have almost become synonymous with getting the absolute most out of the absolute least. It’s a proven fact.
If Millsap would accept a one-year deal, I would at least sit and talk with him if I’m Pat Riley. If he wants any more than two years, I just don’t see how you can justify that contract, considering you want to try and get Giannis in the summer of 2021.
Serge Ibaka
Last Season: 15.4 PPG, 1.4 APG, 8.2 RPG, 51.2 FG%, 38.5 3P%, 71.8 FT%
Like everyone else in the Miami Heat universe, I too think Serge Ibaka would be a great fit wearing a Vice City jersey. Ibaka is exactly what the Miami Heat needs if they want to contend again next season.
He can play the four or the five, while he can still score and rebound at a high level. Thinking of all of those plays Miami ran last year for Kelly Olynk, just imagine Serge taking those wide-open threes.
You’re excited, aren’t you? So am I.
