Shocking: Miami Heat Insider Bids farewell to team in tears as he joins Rivals…

Miami Heat insider on what Kel’el Ware’s and Pelle Larson’s roles will look like this upcoming season.

Miami Heat insider Ira Winderman offered some interesting insight into how rookies Pelle Larsson and Kel’el Ware may fit into the roster in the 2024-25 season.

Winderman responded to a reader’s question about how head coach Erik Spoelstra may use the two-man game between Larsson and Ware from Summer League in the regular season.

“Sure, but perhaps only during practice,” Winderman wrote. “With the Heat in win-now mode amid what could potentially be Jimmy Butler’s final season under contract, this remains a team, at least for now, living in the moment. But that’s fine, too, with plenty of time down the road for Kel’el and Pelle to fully become an item. Summer league showed a unique bond between the Heat’s 2024 draft picks. Now there is plenty of time to grow that on the NBA level.”

The Heat won the title in Summer League thanks to Larsson’s game-winning floater against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Both Larsson and Ware played well in the final, something that has to excite the Heat and their fans.

A second-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Larsson finished with 16 points (7-for-9 shooting from the field, 1-for-2 from 3), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in the win.

Ware, Miami’s first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, may have been even better, scoring 21 points (on 8-of-10 shooting) while picking up 10 rebounds and a block.

The two rookies showed some serious chemistry on the court during the summer, but Winderman appears to be cautioning that they may not play as much together on a Heat team looking to compete for a title.
