Q: Even with many of the roster lacking in Tuesday’s recreation, they nonetheless didn’t want Dewayne Dedmon. If that’s not an indication it’s time to maneuver on, I don’t know what’s. – Sor.
A: In some ways, the Heat had moved on from Dewayne Dedmon even earlier than Tuesday night time’s phrases with Erik Spoelstra and subsequent ejection.

What the Heat should do is discover a commerce associate who can ship much less again in wage, so the Heat then can shift Orlando from his two-way contract and nonetheless stay under the luxurious tax. In an ideal world (and this sounds odd), one of the best final result for the Heat can be for the NBA to subject Dewayne a multiple-game suspension for his sending an merchandise on the court docket, which might imply the Heat then might save on Dedmon’s contract towards the luxurious tax. This may very well be the uncommon case the place a group lobbies for an extended suspension. If the Heat have been to droop Dewayne for his tiff with Spoelstra, there can be no rebate on the wage cap or tax.
Q: Man, Victor Oladipo is making performs. – Seth.
A: That he’s, from one way or the other developing with that free ball after it appeared the Heat squandered the rebound on a missed Thunder free throw, to his imaginative and prescient in seeing Jimmy Butler chopping to the basket for the successful rating. The Heat haven’t had many gamers keen to play at velocity in current seasons. Victor Oladipo has offered a welcomed change of tempo.
Q: We’re by no means going to play our 4 foremost guys collectively persistently. SMH. – C.B.
A: Correct. Instead, the wheel of lineups seemingly will stay in perpetual movement.
