I realise Seth Curry is six years older than Max Strus but for him to cost only exactly half the price seems strange when his usefulness and productive over the next four years will be basically the same. – 9:45 PM

After losing Gabe Vincent in free agency, the Heat have signed Josh Richardson and re-signed Kevin Love, sources said.
Richardson gives Miami much-needed depth after losing Vincent and likely Max Strus, while Love settled in nicely with the Heat after his buyout from Cleveland. – 8:29 PM

The Cavaliers are $14.4M below the luxury tax with Caris LeVert’s extension and Georges Niang’s deal.
They’re now hard capped. $21.5M in space below the first apron with 12 players.
They could still potentially fit Max Strus through a sign-and-trade.

In the circumstance that Vincent and Strus walk, they have to lean on some minimum veterans to replace most likely
The undrafted developments are great, but they always take a bit to flourish

More on this storyline
The most consistent Portland rumbling around the league isn’t even about Portland necessarily, but the Miami Heat’s patience for Lillard to actually seek a new destination prior to the 2023-24 season. But before that bridge is crossed, and if Lillard never truly wavers in his commitment to the Blazers, the Heat have their own wonky accounting to navigate this summer. After an expensive roster started and stopped its way to the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference and then ripped off a momentous run to the NBA Finals, Miami needs to consider how to improve around Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo while standing dangerously close to the second tax apron — especially after Victor Oladipo exercised his $8.75 million player option for this upcoming campaign. For potential external targets: Christian Wood continues to be mentioned by league personnel as someone on the Heat’s radar. -via Yahoo! Sports / June 28, 2023

Barry Jackson: One other Vincent nugget: Rob Pelinka and Darvin Ham made pitch to him in conference call this evening. Has good chance to be Lakers starting PG.. Heat had chance to increase offer but wouldn’t budge from 7.7 M starting salary. Gabe would have loved to stay. Damn tax! -via Twitter @flasportsbuzz / June 30, 2023
