Everybody under the sun knows the Miami Heat are in the market to acquire another superstar. Whether they actually get one remains to be seen.
ESPN’s three-year power rankings suggest that they will.
A panel of The Worldwide Leader’s NBA insiders recently ranked teams relative to their three-year outlook. They took into account five factors: the quality of players, cap flexibility, draft-pick equity, market appeal, and front office capability. The Heat landed in 14th place, sandwiched between the Boston Celtics (No. 13), and Indiana Pacers (No. 15).
That is unspectacular at face value.
