Even though it's probably the right decision, embracing a "gap" year is not going to do much to accomplish the Miami Heat's biggest issue as they continue to find themselves in the nightmare that is mediocrity. And unless they're willing to accept the reality that they must be willing to part ways with Tyler Herro, they may never be able to break out of this competitive lull.
This doesn't mean that the Heat can't be competitive or that they're going to be a doormat in the Eastern Conference this season. In fact, if things do fall the right way, there's a chance that the Heat could finish as a top 6 seed in the East this year.
