Following his release from the Minnesota Timberwolves, John Konchar has emerged as a potential target for the Miami Heat. Miami has an open roster spot and the financial room under the first apron to bring in the career 34.9% three-point shooter.<\/p>\n

The Miami Heat<\/a> could target John Konchar<\/a> after he was traded from the Utah Jazz<\/a> to the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> and waived.<\/p>\n


\n \"John
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

\n Position
\n SG, SF\n <\/p>\n

\n Age
\n 30\n <\/p>\n

\n Height
\n 196 cm\n <\/p>\n

\n Weight
\n 95 kg\n <\/p>\n

\n Birth place
\n Illinois, United States of America\n <\/p>\n

According to ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel<\/a>, the Heat were interested in trading for Konchar when he was a Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> player and could target him now.<\/p>\n

Miami are $2.5 million under the first apron and have an open roster spot, so they have the financial capabilities to sign him.<\/p>\n

While Konchar averaged 4.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists last season, he shot quite poorly from beyond the arc, as he made 28.3% of his shots.<\/p>\n

However, he is a 34.9% career three-point shooter and if Miami believe last year was an exception, they could be interested in adding a solid role player, who can shoot well.<\/p>\n

Miami’s recent moves <\/p>\n

Most famously the Heat added Klay Thompson<\/a> after he was waived by the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>. Adding one of the best shooters in NBA history, gives Miami much needed spacing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> and Bam Adebayo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Klay has taken a step down in his performance after his two major injuries, he is still a tremendous shooter, who attracts the attention of defenses.<\/p>\n

After adding Thompson, Miami signed a one-year deal with center Nick Richards<\/a>, who gives them another option behind Adebayo and Bobby Portis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Heat re-signed NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion Keshad Johnson<\/a> to a two-way contract.<\/p>\n
