Q: Erik Spoelstra stated it himself Saturday, Haywood Highsmith performed a very good recreation. How can we preserve him? – Flip.
A: As far as merely maintaining Haywood Highsmith, that isn’t a problem, with the Heat holding a non-guaranteed 2023-24 12 months on Haywood’s contract. So if they need him again, they’ll try this on the minimal. I’m assuming your query is extra about how the Heat preserve Haywood within the rotation as soon as Caleb Martin comes again, and I’m unsure they do. As with so most of the Heat’s emergency contributors, it comes right down to the general well being of the roster. So assuming the Heat get again to their major beginning lineup of Bam Adebayo, Martin, Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry, that leaves 4 extra spots within the primary rotation. The means issues are trending for the time being, it might seem that Victor Oladipo, Gabe Vincent and Max Strus have three of these. So it might come down as to whether the Heat insist on taking part in one other true backup heart, or maybe going with smaller lineups. In such an undersized alignment, that might be the place Haywood components in. But first, we really should see the Heat at full well being.
Q: So they’re buying and selling Dewayne Dedmon now? – Andres.
A: No, that’s not what Sunday was about. Sunday merely was the primary say since re-signing in July that Dewayne Dedmon grew to become trae eligible. His commerce window opened a month later than most of these re-signed within the offseason due to the numerous increase he acquired in additional than doubling final season’s contract on the NBA minimal. But it doesn’t imply he needs to be traded. It merely offers the Heat another choice and wage to throw right into a deal by the Feb. 9 NBA buying and selling deadline.
Q: Why not Miami-Wade Arena? – Nat.
A: Because the identify will change quickly sufficient, and as soon as you place Dwyane Wade’s identify on something, you certain as heck aren’t taking it off. To be candid, with all credit score to Eric Reid, “Heat’s House” did have a hoop to it. Of course, nothing in sports activities trumps a big-name, big-check sponsor, simply don’t anticipate it to once more come from the cryptocurrency world.
