What Picks Do The Heat Have?
Miami currently holds the No. 27 selection. This will be their only pick after forfeiting a second round pick due to the league determining the team violated the NBA’s rules regarding free agency with regards to last year’s Kyle Lowry signing. The Heat are also rumored to be open to trading the pick.
Miami’s No. 56 pick is held by the Cleveland Cavaliers, while the No. 55 pick is the one actually being sanctioned.
