Things Miami Heat fans should watch for this season: The buyout market

The Miami Heat currently have one roster spot left. Instead of filling it right now, they may choose to wait and see what the buyout market brings them around the deadline.

Having an extra roster spot would allow them to sign a player without having to waive anyone. This is huge for a team trying to compete for a championship.

There could be some solid players who hit the market, too. Players such as Kevin Love, Derrick Favors, Danuel House, and DJ Augustin could all get bought out.

If any of these players become available, the Heat could look to strike a deal. Fans should be on the lookout for who gets bought out around the league.

Things Miami Heat fans should watch for this season: Bam Adebayo’s aggressiveness

Bam Adebayo is already one of the best defenders in the NBA. Now, the Miami Heat just need him to take that next leap on the offensive side of the ball.

A lot of people, including former Miami Heat legend Chris Bosh, have been begging Adebayo to take more shots. The team needs him to be super aggressive on offense this year.

He has a real chance to lead the team in scoring if everything goes his way. All Adebayo has to do is be assertive enough and take the shots he gets.

Fans should look out for Adebayo to take more shots on offense. If he can do that, the Miami Heat will be in a great position to compete for a championship.
