The Miami Heat, $18 million over the salary cap and closing in on the luxury tax, hasn't made a lot of noise since the free agent period began at midnight Sunday.
But at least the one player the Heat did add to its 15-man roster – former two-way player Derrick Jones Jr. – delivered an encouraging performance in the team's first game of summer league action Monday night.
The 6-7, 200-pound freakishly athletic swingman, whom the Heat rewarded with a two-year minimum-salary deal on Saturday ($1.4 million guaranteed in 2018-19, $1.6 non-guaranteed in 2019-20) after he played in 14 games last season while also splitting time in the G League, showed off a sweet new stroke with his left-handed jump shot.
