The backup big man that the Miami Heat have been looking for may have unintentionally fallen into their laps. After being waived by the Washington Wizards earlier this week, Richaun Holmes is a big man who could fit what the Heat may be looking for to answer their depth issues.
Even though Holmes, at 31 years old, would act as more of a stopgap than a long-term answer, he could play the role the Heat needs heading into the 2025-26 NBA season.
He wouldn't need to be magical, he'd just need to be reliable. And while that's been a question mark throughout his career, there's an argument to be made that he could be worth a flier for Miami.
