On March 11, Beijing time, open-air stand reporter Jake Fischer revealed that the Heat tried to strengthen the team's interior line in the offseason and find reliable helpers for Adebayor. The Heat are interested in Rockets Wood and Hornets' PJ-Washington.
It is reported that the Heat is willing to send Duncan Robinson as a trading chip to trade Wood or PJ-Washington. This season, Vincent and Strus have gained a foothold in the Heat, and the Heat's demand for Duncan Robinson has decreased. In order to reduce the team's salary pressure, the Heat hope to trade Duncan Robinson.
In only one season since the 2013-2014 season, the Heat have paid the luxury tax. This summer, the Heat will also complete a contract extension with Giro. Therefore, the salary pressure of the team is relatively large. If it comes from a tax avoidance perspective, the Hornets' PJ-Washington is clearly a better fit for the Heat. He has 1 year left on his contract with the Hornets and a salary of $5.8 million. Wood's annual salary is $14.31 million, which is only $2.7 million away from Dunroe.
