DeMar DeRozan To South Beach

The Miami Heat didn’t have a selection during the 2021 NBA Draft. But, they do have their eyes set on making a big move this offseason. After making it to the NBA Finals in the Orlando Bubble, Miami was swept out of the first round by the Milwaukee Bucks in this year’s postseason.

That is something the Heat does not want to replicate. They can clear ample cap space if needed, and they will do that. Their big acquisition this offseason in free agency will be DeMar DeRozan.

DeRozan would be an excellent pairing with Jimmy Butler on the wing. He has developed into an excellent playmaker, giving Miami another player that they can run their offense through. While he won’t help with the team’s 3-point shooting, DeRozan is deadly in the mid-range and has proven that is still a route to success.

Adding a bonafide playmaker and go-to scorer would take a lot of pressure off of Butler, who has had to shoulder a lot of responsibility in Miami.

DeRozan would also help offset the potential losses of Goran Dragic and Kendrick Nunn, the team’s point guards last season. Dragic has a $19.4 million team option and Nunn is a restricted free agent.
