Could The Miami Heat Target Terrence Ross?

The Miami Heat could have another buyout target now that guard Terrence Ross is reportedly parting ways with the Orlando Magic.

According to ESPN, Ross and the Magic agreed to a deal Saturday afternoon. Ross is now free to join a contending team like the Heat.

The Orlando Magic and guard Terrence Ross are finalizing a contract buyout, allowing him to become a free agent, sources tell ESPN. Ross has played seven seasons with the Magic and will now get an opportunity to join a contender.

Ross spent the past seven seasons with the Magic. This year, he is averaging eight points in 22.5 minutes off the bench. A career 11.4 points a game scorer, Ross had his best season 2020-21 when he averaged 15.4 points in Orlando.

He could provide the Heat with scoring in the backourt and is also a decent defender. At 32, he can still contribute on a team that already has solid cornerstones in place.

The Heat, who were unable to make any moves at the trade deadline, could also be in the mix for Russell Westbrook.
