Last season's Finals team Miami Heat slipped significantly this season, stumbling into the playoffs and being swept out of the Bucks in the first round, surprising all fans. The biggest reason why the impact of injuries has caused the Heat to run out of lineups this season is the biggest reason, but the team's strength has not reached the point of championship competition, but the Heat's activity this summer has reason to believe that they are coming back.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > the latest operation of the Heat</h1>
First, let's take a look at the recent news about the Heat. Riley, the divine operator, is finally up and running after a few seasons of minor tinkering, starting with Dragic's team options for next season, which can create enough contract amounts to trade. The news of the Heat's interest in Lowry is already well known, and the Heat have wanted to recruit the championship guard through a trade since the middle of last season, but the Raptors' asking for Lowry, who only has the last six months of the contract, is too high, which also leads to the miscarriage of the transaction.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > Loridrozan: Reuniting the Heat? </h1>
Now that Lowry has become a fully free agent, he himself has confirmed that he will leave the Raptors to seek new challenges at the end of his career. The Lone Rangers and Heat are Lowry's front-runners, and the latest news shows that the Heat's probability of getting Lowry is increasing dramatically. Since the Heat don't have enough room to sign Lowry naked right now, signing first and then switching is an acceptable outcome for both sides.
According to ESPN, the team option to execute Dragic next season is the best proof of signing Lowry. The Heat have already offered Dragic + Achuva chips for Lowry's first-and-last deal, and the offer will be sent out after the free market opens on August 3, Beijing time. The Raptors will pay off and will certainly be happy to help Lowry sign the contract.
And the famous Stein also broke more explosive news, and the Heat were still exploring ways to get DeRozan at the same time to reunite the two. As we all know, Lowry and DeRozan have a very close relationship, the two fought together for 6 seasons at the Raptors, although they never broke through the Eastern Conference Finals, but the camaraderie has survived. After DeRozan was traded to the Spurs, Lowry was also left in tears. After the Raptors successfully won the championship, DeRozan was also the first to congratulate Lowry, which was enough to see the good relationship between the two.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > hot or sign and change later</h1>
However, compared to Lowry's first signing and then changing, DeRozan's deal is much more difficult. Because the Heat already have two top-salary contracts, Butler and Adebayo, plus Lowry's contract will not be small, the space left for DeRozan is seriously insufficient. However, the Heat still have several high-quality assets that can be exchanged, and DeRozan has previously said that in order to impact the championship, he can accept a salary cut, and whether this operation can be successful or not depends on Patreli's divine operation. If it can be successful, the combination of Lowry + DeRozan + Butler + Adebayor is already very strong on paper, with the strength to compete for the championship.
In the free agent market, the Heat have also adopted a wide-netting strategy, and many players are the Heat's chasers. Batum, Guy, Drummond and Munch are the list of players Riley wants in the news, and while we know that these interested players won't all come to the team, the Heat's determination to reinforce has also surprised many teams. After all, the Lakers have just formed the big three of Westbrook + James + thick eyebrows, the Nets' lineup is also luxurious, the championship Bucks have just swept themselves, and if they do not strengthen, they will gradually drift away from the championship. Creating a competitive lineup at Butler's final peak was Riley's promise to him.
In fact, Harden was once very close to the Heat last season, but unfortunately Riley was unwilling to give Hiro to make the deal fail. I wonder if Riley will have a hint of regret when he sees the Nets' lineup now? But now he's already using his actions to make up for last year's mistakes, killing crazy Riley is enough to turn the transfer market upside down.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > lakers are out of play! </h1>
In this way, the Lakers will almost impossible to get DeRozan. Why? First of all, the team has Westbrook, a guard player, and the Lakers now need a frame player like Howard and a 3-point shooting player, and DeRozan's style of play will undoubtedly make the team space smaller. And, it's almost impossible for the Lakers to now want empty gloves for white wolves, 5.9 million? After all, DeRozan is a star player, giving the ball the right to 20+, why accept such a salary?
