Heat absolutely dodge bullet after latest Russell Westbrook update

Related Topics: Russell Westbrook, Miami Heat

If the Miami Heat wanted to add one more veteran to their roster, the opportunity is there with an open roster spot. However, it's pretty safe to assume that it won't be filled by Russell Westbrook, who remains a free agent on the open market. By avoiding the lure of Westbrook, the Heat may have dodged a huge bullet.

According to Heat reporter Ira Winderman, the Heat doesn't have interest in Westbrook at the moment. Could that change? Possibly, but I do find that unlikely as the Heat prepare for the new season.

Even though Westbrook is still somewhat of a useful player at this point in his career, he doesn't make much sense for a middling team like the Heat.
