Montrezl Harrell has emerged as a candidate to join the Miami Heat this offseason, according to an anonymous Eastern Conference executive.
The former Charlotte Hornets big man is still a free agent and he could be a great addition to the Heat roster.
“Miami would be one team to look out for,” the unnamed source told Ryan Aston of heavy.com. “Especially if they make a big move and they have a lot of roster holes that need to be filled on the cheap late in the summer,” the executive said.
“They need another big guy either way. He could be sitting there. It depends on if the case goes away or what.”
Montrezl Harrell averaged 13.1 points and 6.1 rebounds last season. He is currently facing felony drug charges after authorities found three pounds of marijuana inside his vehicle during a traffic stop.
For its part, Miami has been linked to Kevin Durant and is pursuing a trade for the two-time NBA champion. Yet, the talks between the Heat and Nets have not progressed.
