The Miami Heat’s offseason has been underwhelming, and it seems they’re opting for a similar approach for the second consecutive season. They made several minor moves that left fans wanting more, and some decisions appeared questionable. Here are three moves the Heat might regret:
1. Re-signing Thomas Bryant:
Thomas Bryant, a backup center who had a limited role in his first season with the Heat, averaged just 11.6 minutes per game, the lowest since his rookie year. Despite being signed for his three-point shooting ability, he made only four threes all season. The Heat re-signed Bryant on July 3, shortly after free agency began. While he is a decent backup center, the timing of his re-signing might have been premature.
The Heat might have been better off signing Keshad Johnson to a standard contract instead of a two-way deal, or using the cap space to pursue players like Tyus Jones or to re-sign Caleb Martin. By locking in Bryant early, the Heat may have missed out on more advantageous opportunities later in the offseason.
