Heat's Updated Roster, 2021 Salary Cap After Reported Nemanja Bjelica Trade

The Miami Heat are fortifying their frontcourt with the addition of Nemanja Bjelica from the Sacramento Kings, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Kings will receive Moe Harkless and Chris Silva, per Wojnarowski.

The Heat entered trade deadline day nearly $18 million over the cap, so they had to make the money work with Bjelica's $7.2 million expiring salary. Together, Harkless and Silva earn $5.1 million this season, so Miami's cap burden increases slightly.

Bjelica will provide depth at the 4 behind Kelly Olynyk in South Florida.
