With the Miami Heat off to a 20-8 record, the rumor mill is ablaze. Here is why the best additions to this team are their own two players back from injury.
The Miami Heat have played really well this season. They have played so well that they are off to 20-8 record, good enough for a top Eastern Conference record and a top-five record in the entire NBA.
As with any situation and when things are going good, the rumors are always bound to creep in. While the Miami Heat have been good across the first quarter of the season, they could use more rebounding and perhaps even a shot creator if we are being honest.
However, unlike any other team in this scenario, the Miami Heat don’t need to go out looking for a move to make. They can eventually improve via the return of their own guys. If they can continue to exhibit patience and perseverance for just a bit longer, then the calvary will ride in, in the form of their own players.
If a shot creator is what they need, then two will be back soon enough. Although we don’t have an exact timeline when they’ll be back to do so, both Justise Winslow and Goran Dragic are excellent at creating their own looks.
While they do it somewhat differently, that’s actually a super bonus for the Miami Heat. It not only adds to their overall arsenal of having more shot creators, but it adds to the versatility because they do it differently.
If rebounding is your fancy, then Justise Winslow will definitely help there too. We didn’t even have a chance to mention the boost that he would give on the defensive end, from both an individual and a team perspective.
All in all, the Miami Heat should just stand pat for now. If they are able to sustain, as they have beautifully since these two went down, help is on the way. The most pleasing part about this help is that they won’t have to give up anything to get it.
