I don’t think it’s a great sign that Griff just basically punted on all of the Zion questions.
But, I suppose it’s expected until they’re ready to fully release everything. – 6:22 PM

Surya Fernandez @SuryaHeatNBA
Miami didn’t need to make a big deal at the deadline like some of the other desperate teams felt like they had to. The Heat are getting healthier with Oladipo soon to return, they can lock in Martin with a standard contract, and they opened up a roster spot with the Okpala trade – 3:21 PM

As expected, the only Heat move this week was one that opened a roster spot to make an addition via the buyout market while also having room to convert Caleb Martin’s contract.
Details on our Heat trade deadline tracker miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia…3:09 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
The Heat have 13 players under contract and have two weeks under NBA rules before they have to fill the 14th. That spot is expected to go to Caleb Martin. Miami may also be a factor on the buyout market. – 3:08 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Caleb Martin should have a normal roster spot here pretty soon, I’d expect – 3:06 PM
