Olynyk’s decision to opt in could certainly affect Miami’s plans this offseason in free agency.
Miami certainly could trade Olynyk, but it may be hard given his high cap number.
Olynyk’s decision could make it hard for the Heat to bring back center Meyers Leonard next season.
Last year, Olynyk appeared in 67 games for the Heat during the regular season and started nine.
He finished the year averaging 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
