Vincent averaged 9.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists last season, shooting 40.2 percent shooting, 33.4 percent from 3-point range and 87.2 percent from the free-throw line. Over his four-year Heat career, he averaged 7.7 points, 1.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals on 39.9 percent shooting and 33.9 percent from deep.
In 22 playoff games with Miami, he averaged 12.7 points and 3.5 assists on 37.8 percent shooting from deep.
The Heat reportedly offered Vincent a three-year, $24 million deal—beginning at $7.7 million— and did not exceed that offer, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Kyle Lowry, on an expiring $29.7 million deal, is the only point guard on their roster.

Good luck man, take care of you and your family.
where does Gabe Vincent rank all-time Heat point guards?
He's not top-4, which is some mix of Goran, Hardaway, Chalmers, J-Will.
But he might be top-10, with older versions of Gary Payton, Mike Bibby, or Carlos Arroyo. Fan favorites from lesser teams, like Dion Waiters, Raefer Alston, or Anthony Carter. Or players with lesser roles like Noochie Cole or Eddie House.
