Heat said to be hunting another ball-handler

Miami is expected to keep looking for another creator, possibly after the season starts, Brian Windhorst said on The Hoops Collective podcast.

With Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr. gone, Davion Mitchell is the point guard, with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo also able to initiate. Windhorst added that the Heat could leave the 15th roster spot open, and they remain linked to center Nick Richards on a minimum deal.
