The Heat hasn’t had the best of luck in the post-LeBron James era, losing Chris Bosh to blood clots and then Dion Waiters to a serious ankle injury for a year after giving him a big contract.
So perhaps it’s appropriate that the year the Heat will finally enjoy cap relief — 2020 — is shaping up as a class shallow in high-end talent.
Miami has $72.2 million committed to six players for 2020-21, with the cap projected to be $118 million.
But here’s the problem: That 2020 class has one elite unrestricted free agent (Anthony Davis, if he opts out of a $28 million player option with New Orleans) and two All Stars (Draymond Green and Kyle Lowry).
