Wayne Ellington finally signed with the Miami Heat last month, much to the relief of many who feared the sharpshooter would be a hot commodity in free agency and leave them for nothing in return. ESPN even ranked Ellington as the best free agent still available a week before he re-signed and a reunion simply made sense.
But should the Heat have willingly let him go?
A lot of this discussion hinges on how you envision the 2018-19 Heat team. If LeBron James’ departure from the East makes the Heat contenders in your mind, then keeping Ellington makes sense.
