“I wanted to talk to him directly,” Fontecchio said. …

He said he spoke to Spoelstra before re-signing at the minimum. “I wanted to talk to him directly,” Fontecchio said. “We had a great conversation. I wanted to ask him a couple things. It wasn’t like he had to convince me. I was pretty much convinced. Hearing his voice, hearing his thought process and wanting me to stay helped me.” He said he “didn’t want to ask” about whether he would be a rotation player: “I’m not the type of guy that asks for reassurance. It’s dumb for me to ask for a guarantee. I know my role last year [as an occasional rotation player]. “I’m always ready, [a guy who] doesn’t complain, always positive in the locker room.”
