The Miami Heat have interesting decisions before them. While some of those decisions will come down to the decisions of the subjects at hand, Russell Westbrook among others in example, there is a part to be played by the Miami Heat in it all.

While you assume that they will have interest in guys like Westbrook and some others, what do the Miami Heat actually want to do with their newly found roster spots and cap after sending Dewayne Dedmon away for nothing except cash?

They only have that “space” remaining. And with that notion, it all leads to one question and that is this.

What do they want to do with those spots? Where should they even start?

Should they seek to add a potentially high-impact guy or should they seek to add another guy that fills a need, perhaps helping them out in the shooting department? Or better yet, should they seek to add depth to their core of bigs?

There are so many questions. But before answers are given, let’s briefly look at it all.
