Taking a look at some of the top free agents–not named Kevin Durant–the Miami Heat should target in 2016.

The New Year is here, and later this year, the Miami Heat will be entering what will be one of the most important free agency summers in team history. Kevin Durant is available and, while we should never count Pat Riley out, the odds are not in Miami’s favor.

Rather, the Heat will need to make a decision on impending free agents Dwyane Wade and Hassan Whiteside.

Do the Heat keep paying the aging Wade?

(Probably. Yeah.)

What about Whiteside? The headstrong strong man center is putting up monster numbers and averaging a double-double this season, but he’s a big center who is best equipped in half court offenses and defenses. Erik Spoelstra has adjusted his system when Whiteside is in, but it’s no secret that Spoelstra prefers to play fast. Do does Goran Dragic and Chris Bosh, each of whom are locked in to long-term contracts. So, does Whiteside fit? That’s the team’s decision.

The following is a five-man list of free agents the Heat should target this summer. It’s not all inclusive, nor is it final. It’s just my personal list of the top five guys I think would fit well with the Heat and are realistic targets. Depending on what the Heat do with Whiteside, who should sign a max contract somewhere, some of these guys may not be options.

Feel free to add your own list in the comments section, or let me know why or why not some of these guys belong on the list. Anyway, check it out.
