Precious Achiuwa in Talks with Miami Heat to Bolster Frontcourt Depth

Precious Achiuwa, who became a free agent after the New York Knicks opted not to re-sign him this offseason, is reportedly in "ongoing discussions" with the Miami Heat. The Heat are seeking to address their thin frontcourt, especially with Bam Adebayo preferring to play more power forward and limited depth beyond him. Achiuwa, a former Heat player, was a solid rotation big for the Knicks last season, averaging 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game on 50.2% shooting, though his minutes decreased with Mitchell Robinson's return. To sign Achiuwa, Miami would need to create cap space, potentially by buying out guard Terry Rozier's contract, as they are currently close to the luxury tax threshold.
