It turns out the Heat’s big move came Wednesday, and it was its only move.
Thursday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline passed without another trade involving the Heat after Wednesday’s decision to send Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington to the Suns in exchange for Ryan Anderson.
With the two-for-one trade, Miami currently has a 13-man roster. Teams are allowed to go up to two weeks at a time with 13 players, which will force the Heat to add another player point soon to reach the league minimum of 14.
As for the Heat’s financial situation, it’s still a luxury tax team.
