Summary
Klay Thompson took less money to join the Miami Heat — and his decision could help Miami add even more talent around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down why Klay structured his new contract to preserve enough room under the hard cap for two more veteran minimum signings and what it says about his commitment to making a championship run. Then, who should the Heat target with their two remaining roster spots? Nick Richards appears to be a logical option, but who else could fill out the roster? Finally, Wes reveals how the Heat could create a third roster opening later in the season and why Myron Gardner's spot could become important if another impact veteran hits the market.
