Martin is a valuable “stake” for fantasy managers.
Although the Heat’s acquisition of Terry Rozier appears to increase Miami’s chances of making the postseason, it also puts the franchise in a position to stay above the luxury tax line the following season and also limits its ability to re-sign Caleb Martin, an upcoming free agency.
Here, “likely” is the important word. It’s not a given that Miami will end up as a cap club with little room to spare for Martin, even if general manager Andy Elisburg and the Heat front office have skillfully managed the salary cap for years. Miami would have more flexibility, for instance,
if the Heat trades away a sizable portion of their money in an offseason move, which is allowed when dealing with teams that are subject to the limit.
