"Acquired in the Duncan Robinson sign-and-trade with Detroit, Fontecchio's had an up-and-down season with the Heat. The fourth-year wing got off a blazing hot start, averaging 11.5 points on 50.0 percent shooting from deep over his first 14 games. He slammed into a midseason wall, but has played well over the Heat's last four games, averaging 14.5 points and 6.0 rebounds on 52.5/46.2/80.0 shooting splits."
"We still have no idea if Rozier can even be dealt - Fans, Media, the Heat themselves, and even Adam Silver. It wouldn't surprise if the league's own commissioner didn't have his mind made up on whether Rozier can be dealt. Alas, he still makes our list. His value is in the gutter. But it would behoove the Heat to test the waters and see if it can get his $27.2 million expiring off the books -"
The Miami Heat sit at 23-22 approaching the Feb. 5 trade deadline and are likely to evaluate roster moves to avoid stagnating near the play-in. Simone Fontecchio offers an $8.2 million expiring contract and streaky but valuable shooting and scoring; Terry Rozier carries a large expiring salary but faces uncertainty about trade eligibility and low trade value; Andrew Wiggins carries a $28.2 million cap hit with a $30.2 million player option next year and has generated recent trade buzz. The Heat could use expiring deals as salary filler or to clear cap space for bigger moves.
