Victor Oladipo remains unsigned and has been working out at Miami's facility, which Sun Sentinel reporter Ira Winderman says the Heat have monitored, though they skipped his open tryout in Las Vegas and did not send anyone this summer, with Winderman suggesting a reunion could disrupt roster chemistry.
ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel reports Miami could target free agent guard Gabe Vincent for its final open roster spot, likely on a minimum deal.
Brett Siegel reports Miami had genuine trade interest in John Konchar while he was still with Memphis. Konchar was later dealt to Minnesota in the Josh Green trade involving Utah, then waived and stretched to help the Timberwolves sign Jonathan Kuminga, leaving him a free agent.
Miami announced the signing of undrafted guard/forward J'Vonne Hadley, with Ira Winderman and Anthony Chiang both confirming it is an Exhibit 10 training camp contract.
Nick Richards signing with Miami leaves New York, carrying only 13 standard contracts, still hunting frontcourt help, and Ben Simmons is raised as an option.
Keshad Johnson is heading back to the Heat on a two-way contract, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Johnson went unqualified at the end of June, making him an unrestricted free agent after two seasons in Miami, where he averaged 3.7 points in 48 games while dominating for Sioux Falls in the G League.
Gabe Vincent is drawing interest from Sacramento and a possible Miami reunion, according to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report. Vincent turned down an Atlanta offer to stay after a midseason trade from the Lakers, per Fischer.
Nick Richards has agreed to a one-year deal with the Heat, per ESPN, taking Miami's 14th standard roster spot after the Klay Thompson signing and leaving the 15th open.
One trade idea has Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. joining Miami in exchange for Myron Gardner and a 2031 second-round pick. Porter averaged 17.4 points, 7.4 assists and 2.2 steals across 38 games last season and is on an expiring $5.3 million contract.
Jake Fischer, on his Bleacher Report livestream, said rival front offices view Nikola Jovic and Bobby Portis as negative-value contracts, which limits Miami's ability to use them as salary ballast in a trade.
