Who brings talent to the South Coast? Famous reporter: The Heat will make room to prepare for the 2027 offseason

October 18th ESPN famous reporters Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst talked about the future of Heat player Shiro in the article.

Windhorst: "Theoretically, Hiero is the player that the Heat should give priority to renewing, and Hiero also saw that former All-Star player Adebayor received a large contract extension last year. But at present, it seems that such a contract extension will not As for the other two contract extension candidates, Powell and Wiggins, who recently joined, are unlikely to get long-term contracts. Powell was previously traded to Miami by the Clippers, partly because the Clippers wanted to avoid the issue of renewing his contract, so he may get a short-term contract at most. term contract. As for Wiggins, he has a player option worth $30 million for the 2026-27 season, and while the Heat may want to negotiate a different amount with him, they may choose not to do so. "

Bontemps: "To understand the future direction of the Heat's top extension candidates, the answer can be found in a contract the Heat signed with Jovic at the beginning of training camp. Jovic is the 27th overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft. The total value of this four-year contract is slightly more than $60 million. Yuan, the starting salary in the 2026-27 season is US$16.2 million, which drops to US$14.9 million in the 2027-28 season, and then rises again. So why did the Heat do this? That's because the Heat -- like many other teams in the league -- are preparing for free agency in 2027, sources said. "

" Will Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Jokic, Mitchell and Davis all become unrestricted free agents that summer? This is unlikely. Whether they hit free agency or not, there could be several other star players available by then Join them include Stephen Curry, Towns, Leonard, Trae Young, Zach LaVine, James Harden and Kyrie Irving. "

"Miami will always be the destination that players yearn for. By preserving flexibility for the 2027 offseason, the Heat give themselves the ability to rebuild their roster around Adebayo and try to return to contention. So while that doesn't necessarily rule out the possibility of an extension with Herro or Powell, it's hard to imagine the Heat giving up their cap space until they know for sure there's a good reason to do so.
