Miami Heat should avoid Mario Hezonja in free agency

Barring unforeseen circumstances, most of what the Miami Heat will have at their disposal in the form of asset acquisition this summer once free agency begins will come in the form of veteran minimum contracts, their mid-level exception (MLE) and bi-annual exception (BAE).

According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, a player who could be seeking one of these lower-level contracts should be Mario Hezonja, an upcoming free agent from the New York Knicks. Last season, the 24-year-old Hezonja signed a one-year, $6.5 million contract with the Knicks, and it’s hard to say he lived up to that deal.
