The Miami Heat must add a player to their roster following the trade of Thomas Bryant, as they need a minimum of 14 players on standard contracts.
With the trade of Bryant, the Heat have until Dec. 29 to fill their 14th roster spot, choosing between signing a free agent or promoting from within.
Dru Smith is a candidate for promotion to a standard contract as he has contributed significantly to the Heat's bench rotation, logging a career-high 34 minutes recently.
The Heat has the flexibility to sign Smith without crossing the second apron, allowing them to stay competitive while managing their salary cap effectively.
