The Miami Heat are currently running with a 16-man roster because of all of their injuries. The Heat signed forward Okaro White thanks to a roster exemption from the NBA league office, and come Feb. 6, his second 10-day contract expires. At that time, the Heat need to let him go or offer a rest-of-season contract. The Heat can only keep White if they open a roster spot, and according to Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald, Miami is shopping Derrick Williams.
“They would have to sign a different player to a 10-day contract, unless if they really wanted to sign a player for the remainder of the season following the two 10-day contracts, they would have to release another player on the roster, and if they still qualified, they could then sign another player to a 10-day to still stay at 16, assuming they met the requirements," said an NBA spokesman.
