Miami Heat Rumors

Smith could see his two-way deal converted into a standard one after the trade that will send Thomas Bryant to the Pacers gets completed, Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The Suns are another team that Butler would be open to get traded to, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Bryant could be on the radar for the Pacers when he becomes eligible to be traded December 15, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Rockets GM Rafael Stone said Tuesday on SiriusXM's NBA Radio that the organization isn't giving serious consideration to breaking up its young core in a trade for a superstar, whether it's Butler or anyone. "We like this team. We definitely do not intend to change anything and I would be shocked if something changes this season," Stone said.

The Heat are open to listening to trade inquiries for Butler, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

The Mavericks are not expected to make a move to acquire Butler midway through the 2024-25 season, according to Grant Afseth of Dallas Hoops Journal. "You've got to look at the money before anything else," an NBA executive told Dallas Hoops Journal. "Moving that kind of salary midseason is almost impossible for a contender with this CBA."

Rozier is a name to watch ahead of the trade deadline, Michael Scotto of Hoopshype reports.

Miami could wait until the offseason to address Butler's future with the franchise, Michael Scotto of Hoopshype reports.

Herro poured in 32 of 40 total points, including eight threes, in the second half of Tuesday's 123-121 loss to Detroit. Only Paolo Banchero's 37-point first half against Indiana on Oct. 28th outmatches Herro's production for a single half this season.

Love won't play for the Heat on Wednesday in Phoenix as he works on his conditioning, but he is expected to make his season debut at some point during the team's current road trip, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Ware is not expected to open the 2024-25 regular season as the backup at center behind Bam Adebayo, according to Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel.

Larsson was praised by head coach Erik Spoelstra due to his play in the preseason, according to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald. "He's as advertised," Spoelstra said of Larsson. "He knows how to defend multiple positions, he brings you physicality on that side of the floor. Offensively, he moves very well without the ball, so he could be a connector with whatever unit he plays. And also, he's been really working diligently on his shooting."

Adebayo is excited about the possibility of playing in the starting lineup with another big man, according to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald. "It would take a lot more off my plate to do other things," Adebayo said.

Richardson is recovering from a season-ending shoulder injury and didn't participate in the first day of training camp, but head coach Erik Spoelstra stated Monday that the wing will eventually participate in camp, according to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.

Jaquez is expected to handle a bigger role on the defensive end in the 2024-25 season, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. "I think obviously with losing Caleb this year, I think there's definitely going to be a hole to be filled when it comes to the defensive side of the ball and a guy that can really go out there and stop the other team's best player or whoever's got it going that night," Jaquez said.

Robinson dealt with a back injury toward the end of the 2023-24 season but stated he's fully healthy for the start of training camp, according to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald. "I feel great," Robinson said. "We took all the necessary steps, seeing who we needed to see. Not restricted in any way. Have [not been limited] for the better part of eight weeks. Playing pickup. No limitations. It's still a focus and emphasis in terms of what I'm doing in the weight room. [But it] hasn't given me any issues. It was a rude awakening turning 30 [this past April] and having back issues within a month. Father Time is undefeated."

The Warriors are interested in adding Butler, Sam Amick of The Athletic stated on The TK Show.

Rozier is rehabbing from a serious neck injury but should be fully recovered by the time training camp starts, Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald reports. "Where I'm at right now is just about fully, fully, fully cleared to play 5-on-5," Rozier said. "But I am doing every on-court activity, playing a little bit of 3-on-3. So I figure in the next couple weeks, I'll be graduating to 5-on-5. I feel great."

Jaquez is determined to improve his numbers as a three-point shooter ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season, according to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald. "My three-point shooting, that's an area that I really wanted to improve," Jaquez said. "I feel like I needed to improve if we wanted to, as a team, make the strides and jumps that we need to try to win a championship. And just really honing in on mechanics and getting a bunch of reps up."

Butler is "fond" of the idea of joining the Nets, according to Brian Lewis of The New York Post.
