In a season where rebuilding is the not-so-underlined mission, the Miami Heat find themselves in a familiar position that followed them after the Shaquille O’Neal years through the course of the Big Three era. Regardless of if it was called a retool or a rebuild, the organization has trotted out a roster full of one to two year rentals to surround their staples.
This season is no different.
Let us assume that the Heat decide against moving Goran Dragic or either of the four young guns, Justise Winslow, Hassan Whiteside, Tyler Johnson and Josh Richardson. Insert a cheaper hometown hero–like Udonis Haslem–who said he wants to play at least two more seasons during this past offseason, Willie Reed and the burden of Josh McRoberts’ player option.
