The Miami Heat clearly need to beef up their frontcourt, but their reluctance to sign another big man to their roster before the start of training camp may have cost them a good backup option. On the eve of training camp, the Cleveland Cavaliers inked former Heat center Thomas Bryant. In theory, considering his familiarity with the team and solid production, he could've been a natural fit for Miami.
Bryant spent time with the Heat during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons, in which he averaged five points and four rebounds on 55 percent shooting from the field in a combined 48 games played.
