The sleepy malaise of summer has swamped Miami Heat fans with fear.
Two years removed from a salary cap spike that saw everybody get a piece of the pie, Miami hasn’t made a notable roster move four days into the free agency period, leaving Heat Nation stuck in an expectational rut.
Ask any tangentially invested Heat fan and the logic behind a slow free agent news cycle is simple.
Say it with me now: “Miami has no money”!
The financial deficit has the Heat roster frozen with improbabilities. Making a case to acquire Jimmy Butler or run it back with Wayne Ellington is plain as day, but the logistics behind adding to an already $118 million roster is the hard part.
