Cam Reddish would be excellent. Unfortunately they already have Bogi in N Robinson's role.
With regards to AirP.'s argument, I mostly don't see why Miami has to give up anyone. Not for a while at any rate. We are playing a long game here, getting the best placement fo the playoffs as possible. Things will get much better for us when Bam is back. Frankly, I'm excited.
Oh... forgot my point. Sorry. I meant to say that I don't see a need to choose either or with Strus and Robinson. I want to sign Strus too. I believe he is in the same situation as Tyler Johnson though. Early bird rights, because he also played one season with the Bulls. I can see both Strus and Vincent (I am serious) as valuable playoff pieces. Their play has been outstanding and together they have been vital in Miami's 10-5 December record. When they get back we'll be better.
Strategically, I'd like to see us get Strus and Vincent on deals like Winslow and Robinson had a while back. They would be excellent trade assets as well. For Caleb Vincent, Miami has $2.5m of its midlevel exception (as long as salaries are below $143m. Miami can sign him into the buffer between the end of the season expenditure and the luxury tax line: 143,002,000. How much is that?
Well, $436,554. That's it. You can see right here. Current luxury tax space:

That is 3 weeks of NBA salary (at minimum deal). We have his rights because he is our 2-way player and his deal can be automatically converted to a minimum nba contract.
I would argue our best idea is to sign him into a 3-year mid-level exception, which pays about $2.5m per season (compared to 1,701,593, which is his minimum salary). The Heat have the roster space of course once they sign Caleb Martin to the principal team, they can sign Kyle Guy into an open 2-way deal. That would also gives Miami restricted rights in the offseason. That's very clever, and it gives Caleb Martin some security to grow too. I'm one of the Caleb Martin votes in BBallFreak's poll.
Anyway, to do the math. The number of days is like this:
$1700000/177 is the per day rate of Caleb's minimum salary: 9604.52. The Heat have 436554. So: 45 days of the 177 the league is based on.
Using 2.5: 14124 per day. So nearly 31 days. The small difference in flexibility is worth it, but in that window another team could actually the same sort of deal to Guy.
Here is how the Calendar works:

That is 48 weeks = 7 * 48 = 316, not 177. Hmmm. I think it has to do with the salary only counting around Jan 10. Am I imagining this uh stuff?

Anyway, have a wonderful night! Let's Go Heat! Beat the poor Blazers. Find some way some how to stop Simons. Be amazing!
Appreciate what you have, the kid is only going to continue to get better. He's still learning the ropes & blossoming before our eyes w/ Heat across his chest.
