 In mid-June 1995, Danilović signed a four-year contract with Miami worth just over US$8 million.In order to accommodate signing Danilović, the Heat decided to trade Harold Miner to Cleveland for an exchange of second-round draft picks and future considerations thus freeing up space under NBA's salary cap.Several months later, one day before the scheduled start of the regular season, Miami pulled off a blockbuster trade with the Charlotte Hornets, sending the Heat's franchise player Glen Rice along with starting center Matt Geiger and point guard Khalid Reeves to the Hornets in exchange for their star player Alonzo Mourning with reserves Pete Myers and LeRon Ellis also thrown in.
