The Miami Heat traded Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware and three first-round picks to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks in June, giving them one of the three best players in the world. That deal changed the franchise's ceiling. What it did not resolve was the roster around Antetokounmpo.
Several experienced names have since entered Miami's free agency discussions, including Russell Westbrook, Klay Thompson, DeMar DeRozan, Bradley Beal, D'Angelo Russell and Nick Richards. One anonymous NBA scout evaluated all six this week, and his **** sments landed in very different places depending on the player.
The scout speaking anonymously to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel was asked to **** s Miami's full list of veteran targets. They highlighted why many of these players come with major risks.
Thompson, one of Curry's most decorated Warriors teammates, drew a notably measured take. The 36-year-old averaged career lows of 11.7 points and shot 39.3 percent from the field in his one season with the Dallas Mavericks. He has one year left on his contract at approximately $17.5 million and remains a buyout candidate.
