DeMar DeRozan Could Be Heat’s Secret Weapon | Miami Heat News
Description
Gary Payton drops a bold take on the Eastern Conference, ranking Philly ahead of the Knicks, Celtics, and Heat — but he’s skeptical about Russell Westbrook fitting in Miami. Instead, he singles out DeMar DeRozan as the ideal low-risk, high-reward addition: a clutch mid-range scorer who can thrive in the playoffs, even if Giannis struggles. Payton compares DeRozan’s offensive game to Durant’s Warriors era and highlights his ability to create for others — especially when teams double-team him. With 17 seasons under his belt, DeRozan’s experience and playmaking could be invaluable to Spoelstra’s squad, even if his three-point shot and defense raise eyebrows. Despite past playoff woes, his championship pedigree and hunger make him a perfect fit — especially if the Heat miss out on LeBron. Could this be the final chapter in DeRozan’s legacy?
