Miami Heat

  • Key Players Added:
  • Key Players Lost: Dwayne Wade, Luol Deng, Joe Johnson
  • Key Players Re-signed: Tyler Johnson, Udonis Haslem

It’s sad to see him leave, but the Heat organization didn’t make him a fair offer, so he is on his way to the team that will in Chicago. Dwayne Wade, the team’s leading scorer and one of the greatest players in franchise history, is gone and that’s something that will be difficult for the Heat to work around. Luol Deng and Joe Johnson who were a pair of the teams better scorers also found new homes.  The healthy return of Chris Bosh is absolutely crucial to this teams success.

Tyler Johnson has potential, and 13-year Heat Veteran and captain, Udonis Haslem, will simply serve as a voice of experience in the locker room.

Grade: D

Next: Milwaukee Bucks
