6. Consider Re-Signing Luol Deng

After a mediocre 2014-15 season with Miami, Luol Deng really came on in 2015-16. He proved his worth as an elite defender and timely scorer, particularly in the second half of the season after Chris Bosh went out with blood clots. He finished the season averaging 12.3 points and 6.0 rebounds per game and helped carry Miami through the first round of the playoffs against the Charlotte Hornets, to boot.

Now that he is entering free agency, Miami must mull over their options when it comes to Deng. Not much has come out of the Heat camp regarding their stance on Deng, but chances are, they would like to have a player of his caliber back in a Heat uniform. It may be tough to appease his contract needs as he is still an above-average player who can probably land a decent contract on another team.

However, right now, there are too many priorities that rank higher than re-signing Deng to a deal he’d be comfortable with. Time will tell how this situation plays out but the chances of re-signing him may be slim.
