An offseason plan with trade and draft explanation, 15 man lineup after all transaction, and thoughts on this new-look team ~ feel free to leave comments on the plan!
Trade:
Heat: 2 srps
Spurs: Kyle Lowry, Victor Oladipo, 18th pick
This rlly benefits both team, Pop can now coach Kyle Lowry, veteran PG, and also, Lowry should help the growth of Wemby much too, with his experience on the court
I don't see Spurs signing big names this season, as they should not, so eating expiring will be smart for them to do
Remarks: Don't think eating 40M contract gets them a 18th pick by itself, considering Lowry still provides sth and Oladipo isn't a terrible player without injury
FA:
Resign Max Strus 3 years 47M
Resign Gabe Vincent 3 years 50M
Resign Cody Zeller 1 year minimum
Resign Kevin Love 2 year 14M
Goran Dragic 1 year minimum
Luka Garza 1 year minimum
Jay Huff 1 year minimum
Trevor Keels 1 year minimum
Eric Gaines (undrafted) 1 year minimum
Lineup:
Starting:
Vincent Herro Butler Martin Bam
Bench:
Dragic Strus Robinson Love Zeller
Reserves:
Gaines Keels Highsmith Garza Huff
Conclusion:
Just wanna give credit for the Heat to get into the finals
Clearing the cap is badly needed, just with all these moves, and the current roster they will be paying 193M, it's definitely worth for the Heat to give up on drafting the 18th pick, cus if they aren't clearing the 40M they should be paying even more than the Warriors
Lowry is getting paid 30M, while just playing like 10 mins in the finals, Oladipo is injured till mid season next year potentially, Heat should clear these 2 dudes out
I especially bought in Garza and Huff, Huff is a C who's a good rim protector and can stretch the floor, 7'1. Garza is just like elite offensively, defensively is a concern, but what Heat does best is to use talents, maybe somehow they can hide Garza's defensive limits and turn him into an elite player
Bringing back Dragic, the franchise and himself seems to love each other
Yea that's about it, getting into the playoffs is always the only thing they need, then Himmy will instantly turn them into a 1 seed quality team
