Winslow can play defense from day 1
With that said it's clear from what Spo and Riley said, that Winslow will likely get legit minutes.

They gon give you son a chance breh
At this point I'm expecting Wade and the front office to get a deal done, regardless of him opting out.

I don't know either
Wade I understand trying to wrap up basically the career ender, Deng I don't get it, there's not really a SF demand out there right now.

Breh, no rookie in the entire draft is gonna have a bigger impact that Deng because rookies aren't that good.
I know us Heat Brehs don't really be dealing with a lot of draft picks outside of the home runs like Wade but we REALLY got stop expecting our rookies to honestly contribute to a championship squad.
They simply don't do that unless they're transcendent players (Bird, Wade, Lebron, Magic, Duncan, etc). Napier and Ennis had their biggest issues because we expected them to be NBA-acclimated (Spo included) due to how hype we were to "show everyone that we bigger than Lebron" and those expectations damaged their confidence plus playing time.
We hear that Justise Is NBA ready and we expecting him to look like a decent NBA starter but it's just not viable thought process so we should look at the things our young guys did well and how they played over their box score stats or how many wins they possible added.
Plugging Winslow in for Deng and expecting a Deng-ish contribution is just gonna annoy us. Winslow isn't as good as Deng just like Napier wasn't as good as Chalmers.
I'm willing to bet it has something to do with his role and how he was used on within the offense
I think he and/or his agent see plenty of teams with cap room, and they don't want to wait another year for that security. Plus they know he isn't in the Heat's long term plans, at least not as a starter.
Phoenix was dying for Deng last year, and Detroit might want Deng if they strike out on Draymond & Tobias Harris. He has options.
I guess Riley will be hitting the FA market with that $3.4 million exception looking for a starter. The only guys in that range are probably Mike Dunleavy Jr, Gerald Green, Tayshaun Prince, Richard Jefferson, and Caron...
Dunleavy isnt a bad look if Deng leaves, he spaces the floor and doesnt make many mistakes. His bad defense is even a bit overstated
Then you have Winslow backing him up and bringing the things Dun doesnt and you can close games with Justice when needed and probably more and more by end of season

Dunleavy is a bad look when you don't a defender in your starting 5. yall had Butler who you throw on Sgs or Sfs. Deng was the guy who got the other teams best wing scorer every night.

Some guy on The Ticket just said we can get Durant. 
Even if we did somehow sign him, how can you win a ring paying 4 guys the max and no depth

Then start Winslow
Man we're not getting no damn Durant, and fukking over this year for a prayer would piss me off man.Some guy on The Ticket just said we can get Durant.

Can you imagine Losing Bron, then Wade, not getting Durant and have to parade some Demarre Carol type muthafukka at 16-18 million?
