Heat send clear message to rest of East after calculated offseason moves

In terms of NBA splashes, the Miami Heat's 2025 NBA offseason was more of an Olympic diver than an amateur cannon-baller. They made productive moves—stealing Kasparas Jakuu010dionis with the No. 20 pick, sniffing out a discounted deal for Norman Powell—but nothing that grabbed headlines during a summer in which Kevin Durant, Desmond Bane, Kristaps Porziu0146u0123is, Jrue Holiday, Myles Turner, and Michael Porter Jr. were among the players who changed locations.

And that's perfectly fine. The Heat may feel they already have enough to make noise in the wide-open (and injury-impacted) Eastern Conference while also maintaining the flexibility to make that seismic splash at a later date.
