The Miami Heat just pulled off a major move by signing Klay Thompson, bringing elite shooting and championship pedigree to their 2026-27 roster — and he’s taking a pay cut to make it work. But with training camp looming, Coach Spoelstra must figure out how to fit him in, especially since Thompson spent last season coming off the bench. With options like Pelle Larsson and Tim Hardaway Jr. still in the mix, some players may get pushed to bench roles. The Heat now sit at 13 players on standard contracts, needing one more to hit the minimum and two shy of the 15-player limit. They’re still missing playmaking depth and frontcourt versatility beyond Adebayo, Giannis, and Portis — which could mean another free agent or a second chance for Nikola Jovic. Adding that 14th player will open Exhibit 10 spots for summer league hopefuls, forcing tough decisions on guys like Keshad Johnson, Trevor Keels, or Jahmir Young.
