Miami Heat: Building Their Playmaking Should Be Offseason Priority

There is just one restricted free agent the Heat could bring in to address the playmaking deficit: Collin Sexton.

His assist percentage jumped from 15.1 to 22.6 from his second to third seasons. The Cleveland Cavaliers distributor is another player Miami will need to move contracts for if the team ever looks to bring Sexton to South Florida.
Moving off the Lowry or Duncan Robinson contracts could create the space. The downside is the challenge of making a move to make a move, likely compromising the depth of the roster in the process.
