76ers have poked around on Highsmith (as @PompeyOnSixers) reported and Caleb Martin…. Martin still on Heat’s radar, but math doesn’t work unless Heat sheds salary. Heat could circle back to Highsmith potentially. Heat with interesting decision on its $7 M or so under second – 12:07 PM

So what next for Heat? Likely . . .
– Waiting game on: Caleb Martin (all but gone), Haywood Highsmith (might stay).
– Likely add one more free agent at mimimum (Dennis Smith Jr.?).
– Decide on Orlando Robinson guarantee (or move back guarantee date).
– Wait for summer league. – 10:08 AM

More on this storyline
The Heat offered Caleb Martin a multi-year contract extension before he opted out of a contract that would have paid him $7.1 million next season. Martin declined that offer. That decision seems questionable to this point, because he apparently hasn’t found similar money on the open market. -via Miami Herald / July 4, 2024
Kyle Neubeck: One July 4th nugget before i go back to beach drinking: Had heard from a league source yesterday Caleb Martin was probably out of the Sixers’ realistic offering range, but my understanding is they’re still monitoring as his market plays out. Definite interest -via Twitter @KyleNeubeck / July 4, 2024
“DeMar DeRozan is arguably the biggest piece still on the board. There’s definitely been some talk of potential double sign and trade of him to Miami and Caleb Martin back to Chicago. I have not gotten that confirmed as a serious thing that’s being discussed, but people in the league have definitely talked about it. But outside of that and outside of there being some type of sign and trade to the Lakers where D’Angelo Russell goes back and he can be a salary close to like the 20ish that I think DeMar would like right now, I don’t know where he’s going.” -via YouTube / July 4, 2024
