Another option could be waiving and stretching his remaining salary over three seasons as a means of creating luxury-tax relief. While the team has shown patience amid previous Oladipo recoveries, this could be a time when his salary is aggregated as part of a trade. What’s next: The Heat will have a decision to make, with Oladipo not expected back from knee surgery until midseason, if even then. Victor OladipoĬontract status: $9.5 million player option for 2023-24 (with June 29 option deadline). Highsmith stands as an open-in-case-of-emergency contributor who yet could grow into something more with additional opportunities. What’s next: The Heat assuredly will guarantee Highsmith’s 2023-24 salary, with the team in need of low-end salaries to balance the cap ledger. Haywood HighsmithĬontract status: $1.9 million in 2023-24 (non-guaranteed, with July 15 guarantee date). Or he could come to be viewed as the specialist that once and again will be part of the team’s future. Now, with a playoff revival, Robinson again could have trade value. What’s next: Since Robinson was re-signed in the 2021 offseason to his five-year, $90 million deal, the contract was viewed as one that could be put into play down the road. Duncan RobinsonĬontract status: $18.2 million in 2023-24, with two additional seasons on contract.
Strus’ opportunity to cash in with the Heat could come down to whether the Heat retain Duncan Robinson or offload Robinson’s contract.
What’s next: As with Vincent, the Heat will have to make a cost-benefit analysis, with it also coming down to whether an outside team views Strus as a starter (a role Strus assumed with the Heat only because of injuries to others). It could come down to whether the Heat view Vincent as their starting point guard of the future. Anything above the $12.2 million mid-level exception and the Heat possibly could turn elsewhere, even while holding Vincent’s Bird Rights and having the ability to pay above and beyond. What’s next: This will come down to not only how the Heat value Vincent, but also how outside teams value Vincent. His return likely will be a factor of what the Heat do with the rest of the roster. For as much of a boost as he provided at times, there remains question about age, health and mobility over the 82-game grind. What’s next: It is a matter of whether Love would be amenable to a minimal salary, likely on a one-year contract, with the Heat positioned to offer no more than $3.8 million for 2023-24.

Kevin LoveĬontract status: Impending unrestricted free agent. But that also would, in turn, compound future cap concerns. There also is the option of waiving and stretching Lowry’s remaining salary over three seasons to ease the 2023-24 luxury-tax crunch. If the Heat can offload the contract, they likely will, in order to free room for other maneuvering with the salary cap. What’s next: Lowry proved capable as a complementary component, with the issue being his leading-man salary. Kyle LowryĬontract status: $29.7 million in 2023-24, on final year of contract (eligible this offseason for extension). But there also could be trade consideration, based on utilizing Martin to fill out a deal as an additional attractive component or Heat concern about being able to re-sign him should he opt out in the 2024 offseason. What’s next: Although more than capable in his role as starter prior to Kevin Love’s arrival, Martin thrived when utilized as energy off the bench, well suited to play as sixth man. Caleb MartinĬontract status: $6.8 million in 2023-24, with one additional season on contract (with 2024-25 a player option) The offseason thinking with Herro could be less about Herro and more about the front office’s view of whether a roster makeover is required. What’s next: There are two ways the Heat can approach Herro - either as the complementary scorer needed alongside Butler, or as the contract and upside best situated to be put into a trade. Tyler HerroĬontract status: $27 million in 2023-24, with three additional seasons on contract. As close to untouchable on this roster as anyone beyond Butler. The expectation that continues is of Adebayo as defensive anchor, possibly moving to power forward if a center in the Brook Lopez mold is acquired. What’s next: At this stage, expecting Adebayo to turn into a higher-volume scorer or take his offense to the 3-point line likely stands as an overreach. Contract status: $32.6 million in 2023-24, with two additional seasons on contract (eligible this offseason for extension).
