"Particularly when they involve a team like the Miami Heat, who are expected to once again land in the league's dreaded midsection due largely to the lack of a superstar on the roster. This discussion is different, though. While the Heat still obviously need to snag an elite at some point (summer of 2027, baby!), they should be exploring all avenues toward potential roster improvements. Like, for instance, the one the Houston Rockets may have just provided."
"While the Rockets didn't reach an agreement with Eason on a new deal, they did put "a strong offer" on the table that was worth "in excess of $100 million," according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst (h/t RealGM). So, while they had an interest in keeping Eason, they stopped short of giving him whatever he wanted. They also didn't really grant his publicly-made wish for a "bigger role" with "more minutes and opportunities.""
The Miami Heat currently lack a superstar and are projected to finish in the NBA's middle tier. The Heat should pursue roster upgrades beyond waiting for a top-tier free agent. Fourth-year forward Tari Eason did not agree to an extension with the Houston Rockets and will be a restricted free agent next summer. The Rockets offered a contract reportedly worth in excess of $100 million but limited Eason's role and did not fully meet his public desire for more minutes. Miami has little to lose by contacting Houston. Eason offers versatile on-court skills and upside despite some injury history.
