Max Strus is expected to sign with a team for at least the mid-level exception soon after free agency begins, per @ZachLowe_NBA (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…):

Barry Jackson: Pistons and much of Cental division has interest in Strus. Hard for Heat to compete with that with their tax situation -via Twitter @flasportsbuzz / June 28, 2023
At this juncture, Max Strus, a career 37.1% 3-point shooter over three seasons with Miami, appears headed out of South Beach on the open market. There are several teams often mentioned by league personnel as Strus suitors, from those with cap room like Detroit, Indiana and Orlando, to teams that have the full mid-level exception like Cleveland, and others that are working to get under the first tax apron and gain access to that $12.2 million salary slot. The Cavaliers are looking at all kinds of wing targets, sources said, from Strus to Kelly Oubre to Georges Niang. There appears to be enough of an interest in Strus around the NBA that league figures aren’t expecting the DePaul product to return to Miami, and Strus sounds likely to command above the full mid-level in average annual salary when everything’s said and done. -via Yahoo! Sports / June 28, 2023
While the Heat would like to keep Vincent, re-signing Strus seems less realistic. “The amount of Max Strus buzz right now is ridiculous,” ESPN’s Zach Lowe said. “Max Strus is getting the mid level exception… all those teams are scared that someone with cap room is gonna beat that offer.” -via Miami Herald / June 27, 2023
