The Miami Heat still have one final roster spot. They would be wise to bring in this veteran that is one of the most reliable around the league.

Heat predicted to sign $21M high-motor 7-year veteran to pair with Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Miami Heat are reportedly set to sign John Konchar, a 30-year-old 7-year veteran who has carved out a role as a versatile wing for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Konchar, who will waive, will join the Heat for a total of $21 million in salary. The 7-footer is known for his rebounding, defense, and ability to keep the ball moving on the court without needing many touches.

Although his three-point shooting is a concern at 28.3%, his fit on the Heat's roster could be a valuable addition. Konchar's motor, which has kept him going throughout his career, would complement Giannis Antetokounmpo's high motor and help the Heat complete their roster for the upcoming season.
