After a record-breaking season, Wayne Ellington’s contract decision looms for the Miami Heat

The NBA playoffs have been underway for a couple of weeks now, which means that at the time of writing we are down to fewer teams in the league that are still trying to keep their championship hopes alive. One team that was able to make it to the playoffs only to fall short, is the Miami Heat. The Heat managed to catch fire near the end of the season behind the play of former UNC player and 2009 national champion Wayne Ellington. Unfortunately, that fire fizzled out during the playoffs, and now Miami is in offseason mode trying to figure out who they are able to keep, and who they have to set free.
