The Miami Heat's big plans for next summer have been foiled with Luka Doncic and De'Aaron Fox signing extensions with their respective franchises. However, Trae Young has emerged as a potential free agent candidate.

The Miami Heat continue to value future cap space instead of overhauled spending to better their chances against the rest of the Eastern Conference. The organization is considering a sacrifice from Simone Fontecchio to reach financial goals.

The Miami Heat remain without a true backup center, but there's a path they can take to fix that. Precious Achiuwa is familiar with the franchise and could return on a cheap contract. He's the best available option.
