5 Buyout Targets the Miami Heat Need to Sign NOW | Where Things Stand in the NBA Buyout Market



5 Buyout Targets the Miami Heat Need to Sign NOW | Where Things Stand in the NBA Buyout Market

Hey guys this is Thomas back for another uh what is it 4 in the afternoon uh please get out of my side listen Thomas wanted to do an appearance since uh he was right about the Clippers if y’all remember he was in my new Vlog uh when

We went to the Clippers game he said the Clippers would dominate us because he’s a kawaii D Rider and he had his fun that night anyways you made me leave my trainer die look at this guy he trying to get his shot up we got two Hoops in here

Right he trying to get his shot up we over here we trying to I’m trying to make a video your trading video you never mentioned about thecus Morris trades first that’s because he was waved yeah I don’t understand why anyways if you want to get shots up let’s go to the

Course as soon as I’m done recording this sorry for the distraction that’s what happens when you got roommates if you’d like to help me kick them out of my house make sure to like And subscribe so maybe one day I have enough money where I don’t need them to help pay the

Mortgage anyways while this past trade deadline was more tame than we’ve seen in previous years I do think it set us up for a very interesting Buy out Market which is of course where the M heat like to do their work a lot of the time we

Just saw them get Kevin Love last buyout Market season I think his tenure with the Miami heat has been very solid so as Heat fans we’re obviously hoping we can get someone else this year that can provide some similar production now in today’s video I’m going to talk about 24

Guys they’re in different categories and at the end I’ll pick my favorite five that I think fits the heat the best now the first category that I want to talk about I’ll call guys the Miami he literally can not get according to the new CBA so basically because the Miami

Heat are over What’s called the first apron they cannot sign a buyout guy who previously made over $12.4 million for the season that category includes six players which is Spencer deny Kyle Larry Evan forier Marcus Morris Davis Bon and Joe Harris while I think some of those

Guys could provide some value to the Mi heat really all of of them except Kyle Larry no I’m kidding I think Kyle Larry would have been nice here but they can’t sign him cuz they just traded him and he made over 12.4 million so anyways while those guys in this category would be

Nice because the heat literally are not allowed to sign them I’m just going to move on into the next category which are guys who weren’t bought out yet so all these guys are currently still on their roster but there is a lot of talks and rumors of them potentially getting

Bought out just because they’re either older or on the last year of their deal are just not part of their current team’s plans the first guy on this list that I want to talk about is Delon WS that seems to be a name that’s very popular among Heat fans we remember him

Clamping up Tyler herro in the playoffs a few years ago when D was on the Hawks and that’s kind of his M Mo right he’s a very good defensive guard he’s 65 he is shooting 39% from three this season which is above his career average but that’s still a very good percentage

Although it’s on low volume and and of course Miami Heat fans remember derell Wright which is his older brother and actually dlon Wright was 12 years old when derell was drafted by Miami so it’s pretty safe to assume that you know the front office and Coach SPO has some sort

Of a relationship with Theon so I could see them uh wanting to go after Delon for those reasons and overall I do think he’s a very good player who could who could provide a role as a point of attack Defender for the Mi heat the next

Guy on this list that I have is OT Porter Jr who has just traded to the jazz on Deadline day he’s very likely to get bought out you’re talking about a guy that’s 68 215 a very decent three-point shooter just kind of the biggest knock on him is he can’t stay

Healthy I’m not sure he fits the best with this team because they have a lot of those switchy Wing types Like A Kar like a hameh hakz so while auto porter was a highly drafted guy has had some good Seasons right now there’s probably some better options out there the next

Name that I want to talk about is Seth Curry who was just traded back to his hometown of the Charlotte Hornets so maybe they keep him maybe they don’t obviously he is an amazing three-point shooter that might be an understatement I remember it was a few seasons ago he

Might have had the the record for highest three-point percentage in a career it was like 44% on four attempts so he’s a phenomenal shooter the problem is he’s kind of small and because of that is not really a great defender uh I believe he’s only 61 and someone that

Can’t play defense and the heat system I’m just not sure how how how good that would work out for the heat now another guy who is a great scorer and is currently on the Detroit Pistons likely to get bought out is Shake Milton Shake Milton is a 65 walking bucket I remember

Him having several games against heat where he’d go off very decent shooter I think he’s at about uh 36% for his career although this season his numbers are a bit down it’s at 26% but again you’re talking about a guy that’s playing like 15 minutes a night that’s

Kind of the case with most of the guys on this list you kind of got to look at their career averages because as of right now this season the sample size and playing time isn’t enough to fully judge them but Shake Milton is a guy

That has proven he can be a very decent offensive player and there’s potentially a role for him on the heat bench as kind of that that bench scorer the next guy is Devonte Graham who’s on San Antonio Spurs I remember him having some great years with uh Charlotte what three years

Ago now but same thing we were saying about Curry he’s only 61 I think one of the Miami Heat’s biggest problems is size so while Devonte Graham is still a very nice shooter a decent playmaker I would kind of stay away from him uh three more guys on this list we got

Patty Mills next uh from the the Atlanta Hawks now he’s 35 he’s 6’2 but he’s a great locker room guy a great shooter and a champion and has Championship pedigree so he kind of has three things there that I really think would be good uh like values on this Heat team and

Again when you’re talking about the buyout Market you’re not going to get a needle mover none of these guys are are going to change the dynamic of this team or really be a top seven guy but you’re looking for a guy who could provide some

Value in an area or two and I think Patty Mills does that I think he would fit Kind of Perfect as like a backup facilitator so that’s a name that I do like a lot next we got Kiera Lewis Jr who just traded to the Utah Jazz on the

Deadline as well he’s very young he’s only 22 years old he was the 13th pick in the draft in just 2020 but he’s 61 only played 16 games this year that seems like a guy that obviously isn’t performing as well as people thought coming into the draft now I’m not saying

Team should give up on him I’m not saying that even if he came to the Miami Heat the Heat Can’t develop him into an amazing player but if you’re the heat you’re trying to win now I don’t think they’d want to take on a developmental project in the buyout so he’s probably

Off of Miami’s radar the last guy I have on this list is Andre Drummond who is probably the name that Heat fans want the most again he’s still on the Bulls he’s the last one of the guys in this category who hasn’t been bought out yet

But he likely will be just because the Bulls aren’t going anywhere Drummond’s having a nice season on the last year of his deal I think it’d be stupid for the Bulls to lose him for nothing but the Bulls have been very stupid this year and last year making no trades

Whatsoever because that team sucks they’re about to lose the mar Ro in a free agency too unless he gets bought out I I I doubt dear gets bought out because they would have traded him right I think they hope they can resign dear which I’d say is unlikely but that’s

Besides the point a lot of Heat fans like Andre Drummond because he’s 610 611 great rebounder that’s something that the Miami Heat have struggled with forever because they love to play this small ball and they get killed on the glass so wild Drummond does fit a clear

Need for this team I personally think he’s too much of a negative in all the other areas mainly offense and defense basically everything outside of rebounding he sucks at and it’s not even like he’s average to below average no he he’s terrible so is the rebounding good enough to counterbalance the other

Things that he’s so bad at I don’t think so but again you’re talking about a buyout guy if they could take a flyer on him I wouldn’t hate it I do have some concern though because he’s been on six teams in the last four years so if he’s

As good as all these fans think why can’t he stick to a team that’s just something that is kind of concerning to me now the last C category that I want to talk about is I got nine guys here these are guys that were officially waved and they can be signed tomorrow if

They wanted to the first guy is Thaddius young a guy that’s very popular name amongst Heat fans he’s been in talks with the I’m heat forever now 68 235 33% three-point shooter for his career so that’s not really his game but he is a guy that’s capable of taking

Maybe one or two a game a decent rebounder and we’ve heard that he’s a great locker room guy I wish he was a little bit bigger I’ve heard a lot of people saying he’d give the Heat fan some size he’s actually smaller than Kevin Love I mean they’re the same hype

But Kevin Love weighs about 20 lbs more right the next guy on this list is Danilo galinari speaking of guys that the Heat fans have wanted forever or really the front office I like to say Danilo galinari is the Rudy Gay of well they similar to Rudy Gay in the fact

That they’ve been in rumors to join the heat for 20 years now and it’s never happened now at this point it might be a little too late galinari is 35 he’s obviously past his prime he has the injury concerns and stuff as well uh but he is 610 38% career three-point shooter

And even he’s played like six games with the Pistons he’s at like 50% from three so clearly he can still shoot I mean it’s like riding a bike shooting is never going to go away but he is a guy that can still provide some value he can

Still get you a bucket had like 20 points the other night so while he is past his prime I mean he was even scoring almost 20 points T night with the Clippers 5 years ago he’s a guy that I still think is a very solid player

You’re not going to get the defense but he can shoot and with the way the Miami Heat have been struggling offensively I don’t think he can hurt the next name on this list is Killian Hayes he is a 65 22y Old Guard with uh a lot of

Playmaking skills and a lot of potential but he is super inefficient well under 30% from three well under 40% from the field highly touted guy but also highly regarded as one of the worst players in the league again it’s it’s possible that he could bounce back eventually but the

Heat wouldn’t take on a developmental project right now the next game I got is danwell house who has been a decent player in this league for quite some time now he’s 66 played a two so he’s got some more size of that position but not really a great shooter and I don’t

Think he fits any direct needs for the Miami Heat the next guy I got here is fan corkas who finally got his trade request cuz if y’all don’t remember like three years ago he actually demanded a trade request probably the worst player in NBA history to ever demand a trade

But he finally did get moved and of course he was waved 6 seven shooter very nice player he could be a decent bucket Off the Bench I know I said I didn’t want a guy like Seth Curry but again Seth Curry 61 foran is 67 when you’re as

Small as M heat already are I don’t think I want to add anyone under 67 at this point but I do like foron corgmas and he has had some random scrub heat Killer games in the past so we know the boy could shoot next we got a guy that’s

Very near and dear to our hearts it’s Victor Oladipo now his injury I think it was his patella attendant he tore in the playoffs last year that was in April so you’re coming up on almost 9 10 months since the injury unfortunately we really haven’t heard any updates about that we

Know what he brings to the table right I should speak on that the dude was a Hooper big fan of his great offensively great defensively the shooting wasn’t as good as some of these other guys but we did see he could get to the rim pull up

That mid-range a little bit so if there was any talk of him maybe being healthy again soon I would love to bring him back on this roster unfortunately we just haven’t heard that and when the heat already have Drew Smith who’s out for the season what’s the point of

Bringing in another guy who can’t contribute anyway so if something was to change with Oladipo maybe we could talk again but right now A Reunion is not likely next we got James book Knight who was just waved by the Charlotte Hornets now he was the 11th pick in the draft

Just three three years ago again very athletic 6’5 a guy that certainly had a lot of potential but like a lot of those other players in Charlotte seemed to have a lot of off thee court issues he’d be a developmental project there’s no need for the heat to even consider him

Uh second to last we got Robin Lopez who has been a fine backup center in this league for over a decade now but as a Heat fan he’d be giving me like Cody zel or Dwayne deadmond Vibes so I’d kind of stay away from that although Zeller and

Deadmond were decent for like the first couple months of their heat tenure so if you can sign Robin Lopez and get him to be good or uh capable through the playoffs I’d consider it just cuz he’s 71 but I don’t want to just bring in someone who’s big for big sake if they

Suck so I probably would stay away from him too and last on this list we got Corey Joseph he’s pretty much a stereo stereotypical point guard 32 years old not great at anything but good at shooting maybe running in offense he’s a guy that would probably only ever see

The court if there was a lot of injuries ahead of him but I think he’d be better than nothing just because he can play that backup guard spot which is something I think that he need but really he’s more of like a third or fourth string point guard than a second

String now that’s pretty much all the names that I think will be bought out or have already been bought out or waved now if I’m the Miami Heat who’s the top five guys that I would want well I’m going to go down from my fifth Most

Wanted to the the guy I want the most and at number five I do got Fon cork mes you can never have too much scoring a 67 shooter maybe a guy like that can get into a playoff game and get hot we’ve seen it happen with the heat before and

Somehow they have an ability to find these guys out of nowhere and they light it up in the playoffs maybe F KH cores could be another guy to do that for the Heat and number four I got Thaddius young while I don’t think he could

Contribute a lot right now he is a guy that could maybe play a little bit just to give Kevin Love some rest and he’s a good locker room guy at the end of the day so you’d have no concern about him messing up the dynamic and the power of

Friendship and Tom foery that they heat seemed to be getting back because they seem to be having fun again as Jimmy says at number three I do got dlan right because he is very good at defense that’s something that he can still do so it sort of feel an obvious need for the

Miami Heat which is point of attack defense although he does doesn’t do anything else you don’t have any doubt about that one thing and for that reason I got him at number three on my list at number two I do have Danilo ginar just because you know I like my Italian

Brethren and also he’s a Bucket Man I mean a 610 guy that can shoot I’m always going to be partial to that cuz who doesn’t like seeing a seeing a tall lanky white guy get hot hit some threes and kind of like cork M maybe that

Galinari can get into a playoff game get hot win you a game or two and I did hear in a recent report that he was salty about the Boston Celtics cuz they had signed Timmy TS ACL and then they just kind of shipped him off and he didn’t

Really like his time in Boston and galinari said every time he plays Boston he’ll have them circled on his calendar so if the Miami Heat are going to see Boston in the playoffs I’ll take danila galinari on my side and at number one the guy that I want the most is not

Someone I’m hearing a lot of people talk about and it’s Patty Mills he’s not going to come in and be a world beater or anything like that but he is efficient as all hell he’s a great guy from everything you could hear and he has that Championship pedigree and I

Don’t think that can be understated on this Heat team right now the only guy that’s been to the mountain top is Kevin Love they obviously had Kyle Lowry but they just got rid of him I think having a guy like Patty Mills who’s been in the

League for well over a decade has seen it all has been through it all has had his battles vers the Miami Heat in the finals I think he has a lot of respect for Coach SPO and again he’s a no mistake guy great lock room guy he

Provides probably the most out of any of the other these out of any of these other bio guys that I mentioned and for that reason he would be my top buyout Target for the Miami Heat that is of course if the Hawks do buy him out which

I hope they do he’s 35 years old let my guy get another ring and you know let him let him be free but anyways that’s all I got to say for this video obviously this stuff is very fluid guys could get bought out or signed to another team by tomorrow but either way

Let me know yall thoughts down below let me know who You’ want if you’re a Miami Heat fan and what you think of my list other than that the boss the Boston Celtics played Miami Heat on Sunday that’s going to be an interesting game and kind of really be a true measuring

Stick test for what the Miami Heats are that being said like And subscribe if you enjoy I’ll see yall next time peace out pull wait had to kill them off yeah I need a head space you know this homegrown don’t F man h

  1. I’m voting for Patty Mills & Drummond. Patty is good guard in both D and S. Drummond is good as traditional center and size. Let’s Go Heat, Go!

  2. The heat just waved RJ HAMPTON just an hour ago and we hope DRUE SMITH too so the heat can sign KILLIAN HAYES and ANDRE DRUMOND now! 🔥
