This move allows the Heat to get below the tax line for next season.\n\nAs part of the transfer, Miami also gives up a second-round pick in the 2032 draft to Brooklyn. In return, the Heat will receive a conditional second-round pick in next year&#8217;s draft.\n\nThe Highsmith departure leaves two vacancies on the Miami roster.\n\nHighsmith, who underwent knee surgery earlier this month to repair a meniscus problem, had an estimated recovery time of 8 to 10 weeks, suggesting he could be ready for the start of the regular season.\n\nIn the previous season, the 28-year-old player averaged 6.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in 74 games with Miami. Over four seasons with the team, Highsmith averaged 5.5 points per game.\n\nHighsmith will earn approximately $5.6 million next season. The Nets can absorb that salary in their available cap space, making the trade easier without the Nets needing to send salary back to Miami.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami Heat Makes Strategic Move with Haywood Highsmith In a move aimed at optimizing their financial situation and gaining flexibility in their roster, the Miami Heat have finalized a trade involving forward Haywood Highsmith.
