When the New Orleans Pelicans go shopping this offseason, they might be browsing in South Beach.
The Miami Heat will have six unrestricted free agents hitting the open market this fall, as well as one restricted free agent who might find a new home.
Out of these seven players, five of them fit a current need for the New Orleans Pelicans.
Depending on what happens with their own free agents, the Pelicans’ wish list will likely include a defensive-minded wing, a backup center and a backup point guard.
The Pels will make an effort to re-sign Derrick Favors, which would lower their need for a center, though they will still need someone to fill the Jahlil Okafor role.
