It seems to me that Bradley or Crowder could be had for a relatively cheap price. Both are on low contracts.
Bradley has only one year (8.8 million) left, Heat would remain flexible next offseason. If Waiters is signed for 4 years/52 million then there is no cap available for max free agents in 2018 and 2019 (Whitey+Goran+Waiters+T. Johnson=75+ million).
Crowder has 3 years (22 million) left, he would bring defence, toughness and solid 3-point shooting.
Waiters is a gamble. Yes, he can step up in 4th quarters, but he only played 46 games last season and he had his only above average season in his contract year. I understand signing him was Plan B, but if there are other less risky options then Miami doesn't need to gamble and risk getting lost in mediocrity till 2020.
Am I wrong to believe that bringing back pretty much the same team in the next 3 years isn't the right way to go? Or is finishing the season 30-11 an indicator that the Heat can be a contender with the same lineup?

Don't want that Celtic garbage anywhere near here.
Unless we get Crowder for free.

Because we'd have to give up assets we don't have, and it should be obvious by now that one of those guys will be involved in the Hayward sign and trade.
