Max Strus Leaves Miami Heat for Cleveland Cavaliers
Miami Heat’s player Max Strus is saying goodbye to the team and joining the Cleveland Cavaliers.
According to a report from ESPN on Saturday, Strus is set to sign a big contract with the Cavaliers. After not being picked in the NBA draft in 2019, this is a great opportunity for him to earn a lot of money. The report says he will sign a four-year deal worth $63 million.

Last season, he played well, scoring an average of 11.5 points and getting 3.2 rebounds per game with a 41 percent shooting accuracy. He even started in 33 games during the regular season and helped the team in the playoffs when Tyler Herro got injured.
Strus became a free agent on July 1 after finishing a two-year contract. This is his chance to earn a big salary, especially after showing that he can play well even though he wasn’t drafted in 2019.
Before joining the Miami Heat, Strus spent most of his time playing in the G League. But he impressed everyone with his skills and performance, and now he’s getting this big opportunity with the Cavaliers.
