Although under contract for $21.3 million in 2019-20 on the final year of his deal, Anderson is only guaranteed $15.6 million if released by July 10. To get under the hard-cap threshold, the Heat could utilize the “stretch” provision, which would allow them to stretch that remaining $15.6 million payment over three cap years. The downside of such a move is adding more than $5 million to the team’s salary cap in the 2020 and ’21 offseasons, when the Heat may be in position to utilize cap space.
