Heat Insider: Victor Oladipo's Future Hinges on MIA Pursuing FAs Like Kawhi, Lowry

The Miami Heat have a lot of flexibility going into the offseason, with the option to either add high-profile free agents or keep the current roster intact.

One key question mark will be the future of Victor Oladipo, who played just four games with the Heat before requiring surgery on his injured quadriceps. According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the injury could force the guard to miss the first half of the 2021-22 season.

Winderman explained the team's plans going into the summer:

"The chances of Oladipo returning to the Heat could come down to whether the team attempts to maximize salary-cap space to sign an outside free agent, such as Kyle Lowry or, possibly, Kawhi Leonard, or instead opts to operate above the salary cap and prioritize retaining the current roster.
