According to famous reporter Shams, free agent Achuwa signed a one-year contract with the Heat. Heat reporter Ira Winderman followed up and reported that Achuwa will sign an unsecured basic salary contract.

After signing Achuwa, the Heat will temporarily exceed the luxury tax line by $690,000, but they can also reduce the team's total salary in the new season through operations. The league will count the total salary based on their situation at the end of the new season's regular season.

According to previous reports, the Heat have been exploring a plan to trade Rozier, but so far no solution has been found. Rozier has a contract of 26.64 million yuan for one year. If the Heat don’t want Rozier and cannot reach a deal, they can choose to sack him, but sacking Rozier will not help them reduce their total salary in the new season, because Rozier’s 26.64 million is completely guaranteed, and the deadline for sacking people using extended terms has passed.
