After being swept by eventual champions Milwaukee Bucks in 2021, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-duncan-robinson-takes-a-subtle-shot-at-heat-coach-erik-spoelstra-20220608-0039.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erik </a><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-duncan-robinson-takes-a-subtle-shot-at-heat-coach-erik-spoelstra-20220608-0039.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spoelstra</a>‘s men bounced back and ended up just one win away from the NBA Finals.
But this offseason, which <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-free-agents-who-could-help-jimmy-butler-and-the-miami-heat-20220530-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">will be crucial</a>to keep their contending status, could bring them bad news from the very beginning. Veteran power forward P.J. Tucker turned down his $7.4 million player option last week and could walk as a free agent on Thursday.
Tucker, who was a key contributorfor <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-trade-rumors-heat-target-also-interested-in-moving-to-miami-20220511-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miami</a> this season, is reportedly on the verge of joining the Philadelphia 76ers in a three-year, $30 million deal. Meanwhile, it seems that<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/heat-president-pat-riley-changes-his-mind-on-lebron-james-move-to-cleveland-in-2014-20220217-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pat Riley</a> is alreadypreparing for his possible departure.
<h2>Rumor: Heat eye one familiar face and a free agent if PJ Tucker leaves</h2>
NBA Free Agency period begins on Thursday, June 30. That day, Tucker will be free to move elsewhere, with the Sixers apparently leading the race to land him. According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-trade-rumors-potential-landing-spots-for-donovan-mitchell-20220607-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Heat</a> would already have two alternatives to Tucker in mind:
“Should the Heat lose out on Tucker, the team, according to an NBA source, is considering either a trade for former Heat power forward Jae Crowder, who is entering the final year of a contract that pays $10.2 million next season with the Phoenix Suns, or a possible free-agent move for Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren.”

Trading for him seems to be an option, but the report also notes that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-where-donovan-mitchell-stands-on-leaving-jazz-for-knicks-or-heat-20220610-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miami</a> could also target T.J. Warren, an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Needless to say, this will depend on what Tucker ultimately decides.
