The Miami Heat are going to be very active this offseason and it’s for obvious reasons. This is an opportunity to begin searching for ways to return to contention in the Eastern Conference, as then search to either trade or sign a perennial All-Star begins.
In addition to bringing in a whale, the Heat must primarily focus their concerns on the impending free agencies of Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn, two names who headline as top free-agents in Miami’s youth. Then, you also have the possible negotiations of a maximum extension of star Jimmy Butler.
However, it’s never too early to take note of potential assets and this free agency class has plenty of underrated players who could be game-changers for this franchise. A low-end option to be considered, is San Antonio Spurs veteran forward Rudy Gay.
Once a former borderline All-Star for the Memphis Grizzlies, Gay has just finished his fourth-consecutive season with the Spurs. A fourteen-year NBA veteran in the back-end of his career, Gay likely won’t cross the radar for many teams this summer — as he’ll be turning 35 in August.
However, there’s many reasons for why players of his age still hold value.
