The Miami Heat find themselves in a very interesting scenario. While they need to, somehow, find a way to add pieces to their team, they don’t have a ton of assets or resources available to get it done.
While they are estimated to have around $20 million dollars of cap space to allocate towards new player deals this offseason, they could get as high as $33 million based on some estimates. Either of those figures, with the right amount of arithmetic, magic, and gymnastics, could land them a pretty nice piece or few.
That also seems to be exactly the plan, as they need a point guard, that can score at all three levels, and have been linked to one since the NBA Trade Deadline began to approach and pass. That would be, one, Kyle Lowry.
Now, that brings up another interesting collision of theories, for lack of better terms, as they have also recently been linked to another scoring guard. This one, though, is a bit younger, a bit different in his approach, and might also require a longer-term investment.
