"The move to re-sign Davion Mitchell to a team-friendly deal to begin the offseason was a great move that has been long-forgotten by some across the league. With that move alone, the argument could be made that the Heat crushed the offseason. That's the sentiment that was echoed by NBA writer Rob Mahoney, in which he said the re-signing of Mitchell was one of the "six tiny deals that might tilt the 2025 NBA season.""
"As somewhat of an afterthought inclusion in the Jimmy Butler blockbuster deal, Mitchell emerged as a true difference-maker for the Heat. During his 30 games played with the Heat, he averaged 10 points and five assists on 50 percent shooting from the field and 45 percent shooting from 3-point range. In the team's quick (and unfortunate) four-game sweep at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the argument can be made that Mitchell was one of the lone bright spots for the Heat."
The Heat re-signed Davion Mitchell to a two-year, $24 million contract to begin the offseason, a move that could look like a significant bargain given his late-season performance. Mitchell appeared in 30 games for Miami, averaging 10 points and five assists while shooting 50 percent from the field and 45 percent from three. In a four-game playoff sweep he averaged 15 points and six assists while shooting 50 percent from three. Tyler Herro's injury increases Mitchell's opportunity to start and potentially cement himself as the Heat's full-time point guard after the team failed to add a primary playmaker this summer.
