The days of seeing an injured Josh McRoberts in a suit and tie on the Miami Heat bench have officially come to an end.
As expected, the 6-10, 230-pound forward, who missed 137 games because of foot and knee injuries in his three seasons with the Heat, was traded Friday afternoon to the Dallas Mavericks in a move designed to get his $6 million contract for the 2017-18 season off the books and create cap room to potentially re-sign veteran guard Wayne Ellington.
There was optimism on Friday morning the Heat will find a way to fit Ellington’s $6.
