Josh McRoberts is staying in Miami. After repeated failed efforts to move his $5.8 million contract to another team, the Heat will take the plunge and keep him.
The 6-foot-10 power forward out of Duke has a $6 million player option for the 2016-2017 season.
The team called to inform him that he would be part of the roster for next season, according to the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson.
After the signing of rising star Hassan Whiteside to a four-year, $98 M deal, every dollar wasted on a non-contributing bench player seems like a missed opportunity.
Team President Pat Riley's mistake to dare Dwyane Wade to go only gets worst, as the preliminary roster has 10 players 25 years old or younger.
With a hollowed out roster and the uncertain return of 11-time All-Star Chris Bosh, the Heat's only proven veterans are Whiteside and point guard Goran Dragic.
McRoberts, who has suffered plenty of injuries in recent years, averaged 3.2 points per game on 37.2 percent from the field in 14.2 minutes of action last season.
