According to Greg Lawrence, the deal will include a player option in the fourth year.
Olynyk would be filling a much-needed void in the frontcourt for the Heat as the team had been lacking a true power forward on the team. With Olynyk’s deal in place, the Heat now look to finalize a deal with swingman James Johnson.
