Now let’s project if Miami’s free agents stay or go:ĭewayne Dedmon Center | 7’0” | 245 lbs. Miami has access to the non-taxpayer’s mid-level exception ($10.3M), bi-annual exception ($4.0) and a trivial $1.8 million trade exception. Two-way players Mychal Mulder and Ja’Vonte Smart will also have team options for the 2022-23 season.Īmong those that concluded the 2021-22 season on the roster, the Heat have six unrestricted free agents. Max Strus and Gabe Vincent - who turned into regular rotation cogs - as well as Omer Yurtseven and Haywood Highsmith are all on non-guaranteed contracts for the minimum. The Miami Heat will, once again, have questions to answer and decisions to ponder with five players with fully-guaranteed contracts on their roster: Jimmy Butler ($37.7M), Bam Adebayo ($30.4M), Kyle Lowry ($28.3M), Duncan Robinson ($16.9M) and Tyler Herro ($5.7M).
