I foresee the Heat falling off.

They'll go from having the #1 record in the East, to not even having a top-4 record in their conference this season. They've made no notable acquisitions, lost PJ and didn't replace him, and a number of their main players' best days are behind them (which will catch up to them sooner rather than later).

A trade(s) is the only thing saving them from becoming obsolete.


Who do you have winning the southeast division?

Straight up, if the Pelicans are hitting their threes this year they're top 4 in the West and they may not be #4.

The last thing you want to give this team is space to go 1v1.

Another team with swarming defense and deep bench with quality role players.

I think their roleplayers are their main weakness. They aren’t scrubs but opposing teams will eventually set up to try and make runs against them
