Fantasy Impact:
A move like this is quite unusual and has angered some other teams around the league for the two reasons. The first is that the Heat let go of a player who was ruled out for the season due to foot surgery and Udrih even left money on the table to reach a buyout agreement with the team. Second, and even more infuriating to other teams, is that all non-tax paying teams get a lower slice of other teams' luxury tax payments with the Heat now back under the tax threshold. Considering Udrih's health and age, it is unlikely that another team will want to sign him before next season, or at all.
