Nassir Little Signs with Miami Heat

The Miami Heat are looking to rebound after a disappointing playoff exit last season, making significant internal moves, including a long-term contract extension for Bam Adebayo and the signing of Nassir Little. Little, a former first-round pick, chose the Heat over other teams due to the strong rapport he felt with the organization and their genuine interest in him. He signed a non-guaranteed contract, betting on himself to secure a roster spot during training camp, which is a common path for the Heat with former first-rounders. Coach Erik Spoelstra praised Little's willingness to invest in his own development, highlighting the team's tradition of revitalizing careers. Klay Thompson also discussed his personal struggles over the last two years, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and love for the game amidst external pressures. The Heat's decision on Little's future will depend on his performance during training camp and the financial implications for their roster.
