The 2025-26 campaign is going to be an awkward one for the Miami Heat. They are going to enter the year with a roster that isn't going to be good enough to win a title but also isn't going to be awful enough to tank and get a top pick in the 2026 draft.
To put it simply, the Heat are facing a gap year that most people would simulate in NBA 2K26.
But if you look at the positive side of things, there is a pathway that 2025-26 could set Miami up for years to come.
