Should Miami Heat Prepare For Multiple Forwards To Depart In Free Agency?
The Miami Heat should prepare to lose one, or both, of Caleb Martin and Haywood Highsmith in free agency.
While the Heat would likely love to retain Martin and Highsmith, the front office simply can’t compete with the offers of other teams. HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reported on the latest destinations for Martin, which provides a bit of good news for Miami’s front office.
“Over the past several days, the Philadelphia 76ers had discussions with Martin’s representation, league sources told HoopsHype,” Scotto wrote. “During those conversations, Philadelphia came away believing Martin was holding out for more money elsewhere on the market. Yet, the 76ers remain interested in signing him until Martin is off the market, league sources said.”
If there’s no organization prepared to offer Martin his desired contract, a return to the Heat on a short-term deal is within the realm of possibilities. This situation takes place nearly every offseason, where a player bets on themselves in free agency but cannot find the expected market. Martin was a major reason for the Heat’s 2023 NBA Finals appearance, as he was arguably the most important player in the Eastern Conference Finals.
If unable to sign Martin, Scotto reported on the Sixers’ interest in another Heat forward, writing, “While trying to sign Martin, the 76ers have also expressed interest in his teammate, Haywood Highsmith, with their cap space.”
The Heat are in the upper echelon of active cap space, meaning retaining Highsmith as well seems almost impossible.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.

Three people were hurt after a building caught fire on Lincoln Road on Sunday, according to authorities.
The Miami Beach Fire Department said it was working a fire near 230 Lincoln Road.
The flames had spread from a fire in a manhole that “ignited an FPL vault of an adjacent building,” officials said.
Three people were taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center with minor injuries.
The building was evacuated, and FPL has shut off power to the surrounding area, the fire department said.
Drivers were asked to avoid the area of Collins Avenue between 16th and 17th streets while crews worked the scene.
