5 players the Heat could add if the NBA moves rosters to 19 players for COVID relief

One of the things that is potentially on the table to help teams manage the COVID-19 issues they are having with the Health and Safety Protocols is to expand rosters to 19 players. That would give teams more flexibility in making enough players available and not have to postpone games.

Currently, teams can have 15 players and also have 2 additional two-way players on their roster. Expanding to 19 has some salary issues to iron out, but let’s take a look at some top targets the Heat could look at.

Certainly, they would take a look at the 4 players they said goodbye to in Training Camp, but realistically, these players need to be able to contribute when called upon.
