Overview
- Reports on Tuesday, Aug. 11 say the Heat plan to sign Ezra Ausar and Ian Schieffelin to Exhibit 10 camp deals but cannot make those agreements official until the roster reaches 14 standard players.
- Miami also remains on track to offer Exhibit 10 deals to Tre White and J’Vonne Hadley and could pursue Keyshawn Hall if he declines an extra year of college eligibility.
- Players on Exhibit 10 contracts will be limited in camp work until their deals clear and are expected to compete for two-way spots or be assigned to the Heat’s G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
- The franchise is preserving roughly $6.5 million of its midlevel exception as it courts Klay Thompson and is also weighing veteran options such as DeMar DeRozan and Bradley Beal for the remaining standard slots.
- Because the hard cap constrains signings, Miami plans to fill two standard contracts first and then formalize the camp agreements, a stepwise approach that will determine which summer-league standouts earn two-way deals or G League roles.
