A: First, Pat has shown that when there is an obtainable asset, he plans for the future. There was a reason the Heat had all that cap space in the 2010 offseason when James and Chris Bosh jumped aboard. And it's not as if the Heat went into this summer unaware of what could be available next summer. But there also has to be a common-sense, risk-reward assessment, not to put a team on hold because of what might happen. LeBron looks like an either-or decision with the Cavaliers or Lakers. George sure looks headed to the Lakers, unless the Thunder can change his mind. To hold cap space for next summer would have meant doing nothing with Waiters and Johnson, who assuredly would have received multiyear deals elsewhere. So he acted in the moment. And yet, based on some of the Heat's remarkable maneuvering, including avoid the repeater luxury tax, I'm not sure there is any team better equipped to get itself out of a box if the right move comes along. Because I'm not sure there is a single "untradeable" contract on this roster. Especially if those players play up to their contracts.
