Miami Heat: 3 centers to target in free agency this offseason
By Jack Simone
The Miami Heat could go in a bunch of different directions this offseason in terms of what free agents they target. In addition, there’s a wide range of options that should be available to them.
While a point guard may not necessarily be the top priority, additional depth at the position is always nice. If Kendrick Nunn and/or Goran Dragic end up leaving, it could also be super helpful.
Shooting guards and small forwards always help since having good wing depth is crucial. The Miami Heat should obviously look to re-sign Duncan Robinson, but past that, signing backup wings could help with rotational depth.
The power forward position is one that could use some help. Once Kelly Olynyk got traded, there was no one who could replace his production.
Out of all the different areas where the Miami Heat should look to add depth, a center should be towards the top of the list. After Bam Adebayo, the depth chart looks shockingly bare.
Dewayne Dedmon played super well last season for the Heat, but he’ll be a free agent. This means the team will have to sign a new backup center to backup Adebayo.
Luckily for them, there are some solid options that will be free agents this summer. It all depends on what kind of center the team is looking for.
Should they bring in a big man that can stretch the floor? Or should it be a solid defender who can bring some intensity to the second unit?
There are plenty of centers the Miami Heat could sign this summer, but out of all of them, who are the top options?
