The Heat are temporarily unable to sign the 15th man unless they use extended clauses to cut the backcourt scorer?
11:29am, 19 August 2025【Basketball】
According to Miami Herald reporter Anthony Chiang, local Miami media media, after sending Haywood Highsmith to the Brooklyn Nets and signing Dru Smith with a veteran's basic salary contract, the Miami Heat's current lineup includes 14 players holding standard contracts, and they are currently restricted by the salary cap and luxury tax line and cannot sign another 15th player.
Heat are currently being robbed by the No. 1 tyrant line. Their total salary is about 7.2 million US dollars from the No. 1 7.7 million US dollars lower than the No. 1 7 million US dollars lower than the luxury tax line. Even if a veteran's basic salary contract is given, it will result in the team's total salary being higher than the luxury tax line. In order to ensure that the tax avoidance goal is achieved in the new season, the Heat will have to wait until early December to sign a player with a veteran's basic salary contract. However, this does not mean that the Heat cannot perform other operations. In fact, the Heat still has a lot of room for operation. They can also send away a player with a salary higher than the basic salary through a transaction, or use extended terms to achieve the goal of reducing salary by a player like Terry Rozier who has no effect on the team, but this will also lead to a considerable price for the Heat.
In the NBA regular season last season, Rozier played a total of 64 games, averaged 64 games, averaged 25.9 minutes, averaged 10.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 39.1%, free throw percentage of 29.5%, and free throw percentage of 85.2%. In the playoffs, Rozier didn't get a chance to play and kept sitting on the bench. Rozier's performance last season was a disaster level, his offensive efficiency was a mess, his scoring ability was very poor, his ability to pass and organize was very limited, and his performance on the defensive end was also very disappointing. It is no exaggeration to say that Rozier's performance last season was simply a mess, and he is also under investigation for related football betting, which has also led to a mess in his market. Next season is Rozier's contract year, and his salary for the next season is $26.6 million, of which $24.9 million is the guaranteed amount. Judging from the current situation, there is no possibility that the Heat will send him away. They are indeed able to release their salary through extended terms, but in this way, they also need to add about $8 million in dead money to their salary accounts in the next three years, which is also very unfavorable for the team's long-term development. I don’t know how the Heat will make a choice next. Will they decide to sack Rozier in order to sign the 15th man?
