With two more places available in its workforce but finances completely in the red (payroll of 178.2 million dollars, for a “luxury tax” established at 165.3 million dollars), the management of the Heat must be creative to try to despite just recruit one or two more players.
For this, the Florida club proceeded to a salvo of signatures: those of Justin Champagnie and Cole Swider, seen in Boston and Los Angeles (Lakers) last season, but also of Brandon McCoy, Drew Peterson, Alondes Williams and Caleb Daniels. The details of the contracts have not been released by the Miami franchise , but we can assume that they are probably “Exhibit 10” contracts, that is to say invitations to the training camp which can potentially be converted into two-way contracts for next season.
In other words, the Heat will compete with these “role players” looking for a chance at their training camp, and if the management is convinced, they will perhaps recruit one or two with a “two-way contract”. . Even if for the time being, the three “two-way contracts” of the club are already allocated (Jamaree Bouyea, Dru Smith and Jamal Cain).
With his quality of shooting (38% in four NCAA seasons), Cole Swider undoubtedly has a particularly good card to play, in a role like Max Strus, who left this summer to continue his career in Cleveland.\
