Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[Chicagojk]

Impending free agent guard Tim Hardaway Jr., whose father Tim Sr. partnered with Alonzo Mourning as linchpins on the Heat’s best teams of the 20th century, has emerged as an expected Heat target in the coming days. The Heat will have interest in Hardaway when free agency begins at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, according to a source. He’s among a select group of skilled shooters that Miami is expected to call. Other potential targets have not been confirmed, but Miami has been strongly linked to veteran NBA forward Khris Middleton, who played with soon-to-be-new-Heat-forward Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee.

Unfortunately Middleton looked pretty good in Dallas and could help the heat as a bench piece.  

Seems like with him not wanting to do a buyout that he had little interest in being a minimum player. So we will see what happens.   He wanted to hold onto those rights instead of losing them and playing for a contender at the end of the year
