Heat weigh Oladipo, Vincent or standing pat for final roster spot

Heat reporter Ira Winderman suggests Miami may pass on a Victor Oladipo reunion for now given a crowded preseason rotation, even as the two-time All-Star pushes for an NBA comeback.

Insider Jake Fischer says the Heat have internal interest in adding a veteran guard behind Davion Mitchell, and ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel reports Bam Adebayo and Erik Spoelstra have been pushing for a Gabe Vincent reunion.

That leaves Miami choosing between Vincent, Oladipo or simply running it back with its current roster.
