The Miami Heat did not have the best offseason and appear to be running it back for the second straight season.

Miami made a lot of minor moves this offseason that left fans wanting more. Some moves Miami made were okay and some moves didn't make sense to me. Here are three they should want to take back.

Acting too early and a lack of creativity doomed the Miami Heat this summer.

1. Re-signing Thomas Bryant

Thomas Bryant is a solid backup center who played in spurts throughout his first season in Miami, mostly in the case of injuries. He averaged just 11.6 minutes per game, the fewest since his rookie season, over 38 games. When the Heat signed him last summer, Bryant was known as a three-point shooter. He made just four all season.

Bryant signed back to Miami on July 3, just a couple of days after the start of free agency. I don't have an issue with Bryant as Miami's backup center. My problem is with bringing him back so early in free agency.

The Heat would have been better off signing Keshad Johnson to a standard deal (instead of a two-way contract) than bringing back Bryant. Had they waited for summer league, maybe they would have realized that they should go in that direction.

If not Johnson, the Heat could have used the cap space to make an offer to Tyus Jones or maybe even bring back Caleb Martin. Signing Bryant so early in free agency might have taken the Heat out of the running for better moves later in the summer.
