"The countdown to the start of NBA Training Camp has begun, and there's still a chance the Miami Heat could pursue a former All-Star to add to their roster. With the chance that they could still part ways with Terry Rozier before reporting to camp, according to a recent report, you can't help but wonder if that could push them toward giving Russell Westbrook another look."
"While the signing of Russ would bring in a name that the fan base can resonate with, it'd certainly be a calculated risk for the Heat. On paper, Russ is still relatively productive at this late stage of his career. In 75 games played last season with the Denver Nuggets, Russ averaged 13 points, six assists, and five rebounds per game on 45 percent shooting from the field."
Miami could pursue Russell Westbrook if they part ways with Terry Rozier, offering a veteran, affordable option at point guard. Westbrook is a free agent who averaged 13 points, six assists, and five rebounds in 75 games last season with Denver, shooting 45 percent. Signing Westbrook would provide name recognition and bench production but could reduce minutes for young guards and hinder development. The Heat have also explored other free-agent options, including workouts with Kai Jones and interest in Precious Achiuwa, and are expected to eventually add a veteran. The decision will weigh immediate production against long-term player growth.
