The Pros And Cons Of Miami Heat

The Miami Heat was struck by different unlucky news this offseason. After being left out by LeBron James two years ago, it is the turn of Dwayne Wade to leave the city that many thought would be his last team before he retires. After the Wade departure it was Chris Bosh turn to receive a bad news. Bosh was not cleared by doctors to play because of his health condition.

Wade decided to relinquish his senior year and enter the 2003 NBA draft. He was selected by the Miami Heat with the fifth overall pick. In his first year with the Heat, he averaged 16.2 points, 4.5 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game; he was unanimously selected to the 2004 NBA All-Rookie team. When Shaquille O'Neal was traded to the Heat, Wade's stats increased to a new average of 24.1 points and 6.8 assists per game. In the 2006, Wade gave an extraordinary performance in the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks. In the third game, he scored 42 points and made 13 rebounds, helping the Heat conquer the Mavericks by two points. His 36 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists in the sixth game provided him the thrust to become the NBA Finals MVP. After operations to repair shoulder and knee injuries, Wade emerged for another strong season in 2008. In 2010, Wade became a free agent, but stayed with the Heat joining new teammates Chris Bosh and LeBron James. The trio has proved to be very strong and have made it to three consecutive NBA Finals, but lost the 2010-2011 Finals. In 2012, the Heat returned to the finals, but with a victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This was Wade's second NBA Championship win, but the first for Chris Bosh and LeBron James. In the 2012-2013 season, the Heat returned and beat the San Antonio Spurs in seven games. This victory is the second consecutive NBA Finals win

But the question is how all of these strong personalities and undeniable talents will play out on the court together. It can either be a success for a franchise that hasn’t had many peaks since the days of Chris Webber, Jason “White Chocolate” Williams, and Mike Bibby, just to name a few. But this current roster holds the most talent that this team has seen in years and they can capitalize on that to finally make some noise in a tough Western

It does not come as a surprise to see the Sixers pick up both players’ fourth-year options. They both played an integral role in helping the team win basketball games over the years and ultimately making the NBA playoffs this season.

Lebron James, the number one player in the world, was quite busy posting pictures on his social media of his vacation in the weeks after their loss in the NBA finals to the Golden State Warriors. One would never know that there were frustrations and turmoil brewing back at home within the franchise of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Today, when watching the coverage on ESPN, it seems the foundation of the franchise is getting ready to be dismantled. The reports seem to suggest that Kyrie Irving is at the point of his career in which he no longer wants to be known as the number two man on the Cleveland Cavaliers and that he has demanded a trade.

Miami Heat selected Kentucky's Bam Adebayo with the 14th draft picked in the 2017 draft.

umbled by the Heat's loss to the Mavericks, James spent the offseason working with Hakeem Olajuwon on his post game.[115][116] His work with Olajuwon paid off, fueling what Grantland's Kirk Goldsberry called "one of the greatest and most important transformations in recent sports history".[117] Behind James' more post-oriented play,[117] Miami matched their best start to a season in franchise history,[118] and at the conclusion of the lockout-shortened 2011–12 campaign, he was named MVP for the third time, finishing with averages of 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.9 steals per game on 53 percent shooting.

Miami Heat Loses Top 20 Position as 2-4 Record Refuses to Bloom - Where us Hassan Whiteside?

The Bucks are looking to unload both Monroe and Carter-Williams and the Kings are a prime destination. The captain of garbage time statistics, Carter-Williams, would thrive in Sacramento playing along side the offensive juggernaut that is DeMarcus Cousins.

Heat- All honesty, outside of the weather and no state tax I have no idea why he would choose to go to the Heat. Whiteside is a free agent and will most likely sign elsewhere, Wade will likely be resigned but is on the downside of his career, and no Bosh. The Heat are expected to enter free agency with about $42 million in cap space, there would have to be some maneuvering on the part of the Heat to sign Durant and still have a team around him that can compete for the title. No

As soon as the clock ticks July 1, the champion forward is going to be a restricted free agent, which means he can accept potential suitors but Golden State still has the chance to retain him by matching any offer sheet he signs with another team.

First up, Matthew Dellavedova. The point guard rose to stardom in the NBA finals and may be seeking a premium deal. The Cavs intend to make an offer to the restricted free agent, but it shouldn’t be more than what a backup is worth. Dellavedova has limited value and he proved that in the playoffs.

Now Miami has had their lows, and highs through 9 playoff games in 2016, yet it seems there isn’t much doubt that they will get through the struggling Raptors. Miami is averaging 98 points per-game, while winning by an average margin of seven. They’ve been the more complete team over the Raptors, and on their side is the experience of Wade, Joe Johnson and Luol Deng. When you look at the roster for Miami they arguably are playing their best basketball of the year. Wade has been in vintage form seemingly hitting everything needed in close late game situations. While Deng and Goran Dragic have finally hit their strides offensively. Along with the veterans leading the way you have guys such as Hassan Whiteside who continues to control the paint. While the rookies of Justise Winslow and Josh Richardson have left their marks with valuable

In reality, the 5-foot-11 former North Carolina Tar Heel had long been the subject of trade rumors since February. His name has time and again been linked to other NBA teams such as the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Milwaukee

On the separate report by Parent Herald, both the Warriors and the Cavs are early favorites for the upcoming NBA season and both teams are deemed to meet again in the NBA Finals. The question is, are both teams willing to trade their players to make room for Cousins?
