Highlights

  • The Miami Heat missed out on trading for superstars Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal, leaving them in a precarious position and potentially more vulnerable.
  • Giving up their depth for a superstar may have set the Heat back further, as this was a key strength during their playoff run.
  • Despite a slow start to the season, the Heat's roster continuity and on-court chemistry may still make them a strong contender leading into the playoffs, should they seal a post-season berth.
