The Miami Heat are pretty far along into an offseason that is full of twists and turns for them. It’s definitely one that is to be labeled as having more questions than answers.
With that though, there are a few issues or questions that would have to be more pressing than others, right? Yes, that would be absolutely correct.
In that light, here are the three most pressing issues to address for the Miami Heat. Here’s their three most important questions to answer this offseason.
About Tyler Herro?
The Miami Heat might have a superstar on their hands in Tyler Herro, that just needs time, patience, and peace in order to continue blossoming. They could also have just a microwave type player off the bench, who will show inconsistencies but can, at least, fill it up for his team off the pine on most nights.
While the former is still just as likely as the latter, at this exact moment, that choice needs to be made on the Miami Heat’s behalf. Are they going to be patient with him or not?
The Miami Heat are currently in a situation where they have more questions than answers. These are three most important ones.
The Victor Oladipo Ask?
With Victor Oladipo only playing in four games for the Miami Heat last season before going down with a season-ending injury, one would think that he wasn’t convincing enough to make a case for the Heat to continue pursuing him. Wrong.
Though he wasn’t extremely impressive, he displayed enough if the right things were being observed. It all comes down to the ask for a guy like Dipo, at this point.
He might still be a upper-echelon player, but he has to show that he can stay healthy for the entirety of the year before he commands anything close to the huge salary he might be expecting. A nice middle-ground based prove-it type situation is the hope but that is yet to be determined, however, that’s why it’s the second most important question of the offseason.
About Acquisitions?
The first two questions have a direct impact on this question, as it helps determine what the team might need to try and be their best. While the Miami Heat need a lead guard option, do they go for a second-tier approach or do they look at a big name?
Do they even go for a guard, as they could stand to add some much-needed help along the wings or in the paint as well. There are a multitude of ways they could go about adding things to their roster… but that’s something that has to be sorted out before anything can be executed.
The Miami Heat still aren’t that far off from the team that challenged for the title in the NBA Bubble last season and with a few tweaks, they could be right back there. Answering these questions appropriately, however that may be, would go a long way towards making that a reality.
