Heat trading Terry Rozier could this summer could be challenging

1 day ago | hothothoops.com | Matt Hanifan

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier had a very bad season–one of the worst of his career. In his first full season with the Heat, the 10-year veteran averaged 10.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. But he shot just 39.1 percent from the floor, his worst since his sophomore NBA season in 2016-17, and 29.5 percent from 3-point range, the worst since his rookie year, when he played just 39 games (and totaled just 311 minutes).

We are less than three weeks away from the 2025 NBA Draft. The Miami Heat only own the No. 20 pick in the draft.

Edgecombe–revealed that he emulated his game after Heat all-time great Dwyane Wade.

The Miami Heat face an important decision regarding guard Tyler Herro this offseason. Not in July or August, but in October, rather. At the start of the month, Herro, coming off a career season, will be eligible to sign a three-year, $149.7 million extension, which would not begin until the 2027-28 season. While the Heat don’t have to, will they back up the Brinks truck for their one-time All-Star? ESPN’s Bobby Marks expects them to, he wrote Tuesday.

Heading into this offseason, there was some discussion–from myself included–about whether Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra would shake up his coaching staff amid a third-straight mediocre season with another bottom-third offense. Obviously, the team’s talent–or lack thereof–plays a huge part in its shortcomings. But on Monday morning, the first indication that Spoelstra was looking for a new voice felt real.

6 days ago | hothothoops.com | Matt Hanifan

The 2025 NBA Finals are set! Just like we all predicted, the Indiana Pacers made it out of the East, while the 68-win Oklahoma City Thunder clinched a berth from the West! Both teams were the two best teams from January on and showed that was the case, becoming the first pair of teams since the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers to make the NBA Finals after losing four or fewer games over the first three series. Speaking of the Heat: Well, they are currently far from title contention.
