Miami Heat Quietly Bolster Roster with Thomas Bryant and Alec Burks Signing

The Heat has not been particularly active since the opening of this free agencyhaving so far been content to extend Kevin Love’s contract for two years. But Marc Stein teaches us a new signature, or rather a re-signature: that of Thomas Bryantfor one year. Probably at minimum wage.

Among Bam Adebayo’s rotations in Florida, the 26-year-old center has not been used much by Erik Spoelstra at Miami this season: 12 minutes of play in 38 games, for an average of 5.7 points and 3.7 rebounds.

A low-cost reinforcement for the Heat who, beyond Thomas Bryant, hope to recruit some impact players in the coming days. We are talking about DeMar DeRozan, even if the option will not be easy to put in place…

Alec Burks arrive

While waiting to sign the Bulls’ guard, it’s Alec Burks who has signed for one season with the Heat, announces ESPN. Arrived from Detroit as part of the trade with Evan Fournier, he finished the season, rather discreetly, with the Knicks.

Before he really got his chance in the playoffs, against Indiana, following OG Anunoby’s injury. Alec Burks then compiled 17.8 points on average over the last five games of the series, at 43% success on 3-pts. Proof that with a few minutes to show himself, the soon-to-be 33-year-old player can still bring something.
