With all the moves the Miami Heat made this offseason, it’s pretty hard to gauge how good they’ll be this year. The common consensus is that they’ll be better than last year, but that’s not too tall a task.
The Heat struggled with injuries and COVID last season. Saying that they will be a better team than last year is a pretty low bar to set for a team with clear championship aspirations.
