Ira Winderman: Subtle or severe? Heat remix allows Erik Spoelstra many different options.

MIAMI — In an NBA offseason of massive makeovers, from the Phoenix Suns deconstructing to the Los Angeles Clippers reconstructing, the Miami Heat’s summer has stood far more muted.

Norman Powell, Simone Fontecchio, Kasparas Jakucionis and Vlad Goldin in; Duncan Robinson, Kevin Love, Kyle Anderson, Alec Burks, Josh Christopher and Isaiah Stevens out.

And yet even with that minor amount of movement, it does change how Erik Spoelstra can conduct business next season, even without further movement.

It is a reconstituted roster that affords alternatives from the expected to the novel.

For a coach who is “open to everything,” as he is wont to offer, there now are months to marinate on change, both subtle and severe.

Such as . . .

Expected starting lineup: Based on Kel’el Ware ending last season as a starter, and with  Powell entering a contract year that would be boosted by a starting role, the initial expectation is a lineup of Ware at center, Bam Adebayo at power forward, Andrew Wiggins at small forward, Powell at shooting guard, Tyler Herro at point guard.

Lineup alternative A: The issue with the aforementioned starting five is limited outside shooting and limited playmaking, with Herro not at his best at point guard (and having gotten very good with working off the ball).

However, insert Nikola Jovic at power forward, move Adebayo back to center, and play Ware off the bench, and Jovic’s shooting and playmaking enters the equation.

While Adebayo has stated a preference for starting alongside true center, he routinely has gone along with the greater good.

In addition, after an uneven summer league and admonishment from Spoelstra, it would make Ware earn his way back into the starting five. Plus, Ware off the bench would give the Heat the backup center they otherwise lack.

Lineup alternative B: If the plan remains to stay with Ware and Adebayo up front, then there could be something to be said for utilizing Davion Mitchell as the fifth starter alongside Ware, Adebayo, Wiggins and Herro.

Such an approach would get Herro off the ball and would allow Powell to play in the sixth-man role that he mastered for multiple seasons with the Clippers. The injection of Powell’s scoring would bolster scoring in a second unit otherwise lacking.

Expected bench boosts: If the Heat go with the “expected” lineup listed above, then two of the following four would play as leading men off the bench: Mitchell, Jovic, Powell, Ware.

For now, it would appear those seven would be at the top of the rotation, based on the moves the Heat have made with their roster and their salary structure, including the re-signing of Mitchell and trading for Powell.

Alternative bench boost A: For all Mitchell showed with his sizzle upon his arrival last season, for all of Ware’s hoisting from deep during summer league, for as improved as Jovic has been from beyond the arc, there still was a blow to the overall spacing with the trade of Duncan Robinson to the Pistons.

Enter Fontecchio?

This is where it gets interesting for a team that had been expected to turn toward youth. Because as much as that might remain a goal, Spoelstra long has featured a shooting specialist in reserve. Fontecchio has been that during his best of times. So merely a player acquired as a salary match, or a potential eighth man in the rotation (sort of an Alec Burks 2.0)?

Alternative bench boost B: If not Fontecchio as eighth man, then the matter could stand as Jaime Jaquez Jr. or Pelle Larsson.

It could be as simple as playing both ahead of Fontecchio, with Spoelstra typically going at least nine deep. But if only one, is it the pedigree of Jaquez or the sizzle of Larsson?

The hunch here is Jaquez gets every opportunity to remain in the rotation, particularly because he could be called up for duty with the starters if Wiggins is dealt.

Expected backup center: If the lineup is the “expected” version listed above, then undrafted Goldin, the former Florida Atlantic and Michigan 7-footer, currently stands as the lone option, albeit on his two-way contract.

Alternative backup center: Sorry, Niko, with Jovic still fancying himself as a wing and not exactly a fan of minutes in the middle.

For now, figure a three-way primary power rotation of Adebayo, Ware and Jovic, with every other power option on the standard roster undersized (Haywood Highsmith, Keshad Johnson, Fontecchio).

Expected rotation outsiders: While Highsmith remains on the bubble when it comes to rotation minutes, simply because of his unquestioned reliability, seemingly on the outside looking in would be Johnson, Goldin, Terry Rozier, first-round pick Kasparas Jakucionis and perhaps Fontecchio.

Alternative rotation options: Don’t forget about Dru Smith, who has a qualifying offer in place to return from last season’s Achilles tear. And if Jakucionis can get his game settled, it’s not as if Spoelstra hasn’t previously gone with rookies who are ready.

The wild card is Rozier, and whether he can get back to what he was before joining the Heat or whether last season exemplified the wrong player with the wrong team at the wrong time (amid the ongoing gambling investigation).

IN THE LANE

THE BRONNY FACTOR: First, while all things LeBron James are considered at the moment only in the hypothetical, there is one element of that hypothetical worth considering with the Heat. For the most part, the speculation about a potential LeBron trade from the Los Angeles Lakers has been accompanied by speculation that Bronny James would be part of such a package. And that’s where it gets tricky with the Heat. Unlike most NBA teams, the Heat’s G League affiliate is nowhere close to the team’s NBA base, instead over 1,300 air miles from Miami in Sioux Falls, S.D. So this would not be like Bronny going crosstown to the G League, as he did between the Lakers and the South Bay Lakers. By contrast, the Cavaliers’ G League affiliate is in Cleveland. In that regard, LeBron James’ son playing in Sioux Falls might be more of a stretch than the notion of LeBron back in Miami. Just saying.

FORMAL WELCOME: Among the first comments from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver at his media session at the Las Vegas NBA Summer League was welcoming former Heat forward James Jones into the league office. The two are well-acquainted, with Jones having been part of the union’s bargaining committee during his playing days. “We got to know each other when he was on the executive committee at the Players Association,” Silver said. “We negotiated across from each other many times. Life goes full circle. Then, of course, he was an Executive of the Year when he was at the Phoenix Suns. He’s now replacing Joe Dumars at the league office. He was at his first league meeting today. James, you can do your own press conference on what it feels like to now be on the other side of the table. But welcome again. We’re thrilled to have you at the league office.”

TOUGH ENOUGH: Yes, ejections from summer league are rare, which left Boston Celtics forward Jordan Walsh somewhat backing down even after being tossed with two technical fouls for his run-in with Heat guard Pelle Larsson in Vegas. “It was a dumb decision; I low key forgot I got the first tech,” Walsh said, according to the Boston Globe. “I also remembered that don’t nobody really hit anybody in the NBA. So I really didn’t have no reason to attack him. But I thought that it was dumb. It was a rookie mistake, immature for me to do it. Can’t let it happen again.” Yet no sooner was Walsh off the court, then there was a message from Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla. “Yeah, he told me he loved it,” Walsh said. “He was texting me like, ‘I love this out of you.’ Joe liked it.”

BEEN THERE, SEEN THAT: It’s nothing Dwyane Wade hasn’t seen before from Erik Spoelstra, and the recent challenge thrown down by the Heat coach, Wade said, might be just what Heat center Kel’el Ware needs to take the next step. “He’s coached Hall of Famers,” Wade said on his podcast of Spoelstra. “Spo’s been on the championships, he’s been in the foxhole. If you want to listen to anybody, you listen to Spo. If young fella wants to be great, buy in. Buy into what they’re selling.” But Wade said it has to  be more than just a couple of summer-league games. “He’s gotta buy in and that’s hard. It’s hard at first, but if he just understands that if he buys in, he’s going to be great. He’s going to be great, just buy into greatness.”

NEW VISTA: In the end, it came down to money as much as location when it came to Duncan Robinson’s move from the Heat. That said, he said he’s embracing his opportunity with the Detroit Pistons. “First and foremost, try to bring some leadership,” Robinson said, according to the Detroit Free Press. “I’ve been a part of some really good teams, I’ve played a lot of different roles, embracing whatever is asked of me as an older guy. In terms of actually on the court, playing the right way, getting the other guys involved, using how the defense guards me to create opportunities for other guys, and just competing. Trying to move the needle to help us win. This group is super ambitious, super competitive. Excited for it.”
