Bobby Marks: Miami stretched the $1M owed on the AJ Hammons 2018-19 contract over the next 3 seasons starting in July. Hammons will have a $350K cap hit. The Heat are one of a dozen of teams projected to be in the tax next season.
Ira Winderman: The Heat will release AJ Hammons to open a roster spot for Wade.
The Miami Heat have opted to guarantee the contract of center A.J. Hammons for the season, with $400,000 of that total having to be guaranteed by Sunday’s 5 p.m. waiver deadline.
Riley then worked the phones to increase that total. He traded the seldom-healthy Josh McRoberts to Dallas in exchange for the seldom-used backup center A.J. Hammons, whose contract is guaranteed for $1.3 million this season and $1.5 million next season, adding an extra $1.5 million of cap room at the cost of its full $5.1 million allotment of cash for the season and its 2023 second-round draft pick (a shockingly high cost for the Heat). Which left the Heat with as much as $11.8 million for Johnson.
