ESPN Analyst Projects Miami Heat’s Remaining Offseason Moves

After the Miami Heat’s highlight of the summer in the Norman Powell trade, their open roster spot has many wondering if they will make another home run move.

On the Zaslow Show 2.0 podcast, Jonathan Zaslow and Bobby Marks discuss several moves the Heat have already made for its most active offseason in several seasons. Following these moves, Powell may be the only big-time acquisition they’ll make.

Bobby Marks says he’s not expecting another big move from MIA this offseason after Norman Powell trade

“I like the move, it was a low risk move as far as what they did….I’m not anticipating a huge move as for what’s next with this roster”

“I mean, listen, we’re going to see probably within the next couple of days, Beal become available in free agency,” Marks said. “I think the Norman Powell move eliminates that, as far as what they need. They’re a little bit below three and change below the first apron, so they can go out and sign a minimum guy if they want to do that. But I’m not anticipating another big move.”

The Heat have addressed several key priorities this offseason. Davion Mitchell’s extension was arguably at the top of the list because his addition to the team gave them a dominant perimeter defender they severely lacked outside of Bam Adebayo and Haywood Highsmith. With Duncan Robinson leaving, getting another capable shooter in return with Simone Fontecchio assured Tyler Herro and Powell won’t be the only primary perimeter shooters on the roster.

Had the Heat not been able to get a projected lottery pick in Kasparas Jakučionis after he fell in the draft, they would have more incentive to go after Bradley Beal or Damian Lillard. It seems the Heat are focused on developing their future assets to move in a younger direction.
