The Heat are very interested in the former Knicks substitute inside, but they can t sign him for the time being?

According to local Miami media The Miami Herald, although the Miami Heat are indeed very interested in Precious Achiuwa, because the Heat's current salary pressure is very high, the team's total salary still exceeds the luxury tax line, and they have no way to provide Achiuwa contracts at the current stage. However, the Heat have expressed interest to Achuwa and the possibility of signing him in the future. Jackson also heard that the Heat welcomed Achuwa back to the team very much. The Nigerian inside player still has a home near Miami, and the Heat have always maintained contact with Achuwa. Although Achuva has received some contracts from other teams, he has not made the final decision so far.

According to The South Florida reporter Ira Winderman, the Heat are not only interested in an inside player Achuwa, but they are also paying attention to the situation of some other inside players and making contact. However, the Heat believe that the arrival of Achuwa will improve the team's inside strength and have a positive impact on the team's lineup rotation. In addition to the inside core Bam Adebayo, the Heat also has only two substitutes, Kel’el Ware, a two-way contract inside player Vladislav Goldin, who is also short of people in the No. 5 position.

Achuwa, from Nigeria, was born in September 1999. He is 25 years old, 203cm tall and weighs 110kg. He is the inside player selected by the Heat in the 20th pick in the first round in the 2020 NBA Draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Achouva played 57 times in his 82 games, with averaging 20.5 minutes per game, averaging 6.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.8 steals, and 0.7 blocks. He also had 0.8 turnovers and 1.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 27.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 59.4%. In the playoffs, Achuwa made a total of 10 appearances, averaging 4.2 minutes, averaging 1.8 points, 1.1 rebounds, 0.1 assists, 0.1 turnovers and 0.2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 42.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 0%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 50%. Although Achuwa performed well in the NBA regular season last season, his performance also showed a significant decline in the playoffs. Perhaps because of the overall performance, Achuva has not received a contract from an NBA team so far. There have been reports that the Greek league giant Panasinaikos is very interested in Achuva, but Achuva did not choose to go to the European arena to develop immediately. It seems that he also hopes to try his best to find a contract in the NBA. I don't know if he can get what he wants.
