The Miami Heat's recent trade of Thomas Bryant to the Indiana Pacers opens up a vital roster spot and decreases their luxury tax by $4.7 million.
The deal allows the Heat to go from $1.6 million away to $3.7 million from the second apron, all while maintaining their luxury tax status.
With an empty roster spot now available, the Heat must fill it within two weeks or face a fine for not meeting the NBA roster requirements.
Dru Smith is poised to be promoted to a standard contract soon, having demonstrated his value with consistent performance and increased playing time.
