Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal 

The Heat are thinking about two things here. They’re thinking about who Toppin is, and who he could be. 

As it stands, Toppin is a stout, versatile defender. He’s strong and mobile, allowing him to guard any frontcourt position. 

That would have been key for them in the Finals this year. Martin was too small to contend with the Nuggets at the 4, and Love was too slow. Toppin would have offered the positional defense they needed at that moment. 

So, he’s a good addition. On the other hand, if he hits his ceiling, he’ll be a great one. This is a low-risk, potentially high-reward deal for Miami.
