Posted by Unknown on Saturday, December 27, 2014 with No comments
The Miami Heat have been granted the Disabled Player Exception by the NBA due to the season ending knee injury to F Josh McRoberts.  The Heat will have $2.65 million of cap space that can be used in the following three ways by March 10th.

-- Signing a free agent to a one-year contract for the full value of the exception or less.
-- Acquiring a player with an expiring contract off waivers who is due $2.65 million or less this season.
-- Trading for a player in the final year of a contract who is earning $2.75 million (the allowable $100,000 differential in a trade) and is in the final season of a contract.
