The Miami Heat made a significant roster change in February by trading Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors, acquiring Andrew Wiggins, Davion Mitchell, and Kyle Anderson. However, as the season progresses, the Heat has the potential for smaller roster adjustments, particularly given the approaching NBA deadlines for player waivers and two-way contract signings. They currently hold a full roster and face a luxury tax, complicating any new additions. With players needing to be waived by Saturday for postseason eligibility, the Heat may reconsider the roster amidst injuries and trade options.
The Heat are currently at the maximum of 15 players on standard contracts, so they would need to waive one to make room for any new addition.
Adding a player this season would increase the Heat's luxury tax bill, which currently stands at about $4 million, calculated based on the roster at season's end.
The upcoming deadlines include the waiver deadline for being eligible for the playoffs and the final day for signing players to two-way contracts.
