3 Head-scratching decisions the Heat probably wish they could take back

3. Lack of creativity

There's no question the Heat have a well-respected front office that has done well to identify and develop talent. But it's also fair to say they haven't been especially creative in retooling the top of the roster around Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo.

The Heat are limited in draft assets and finances, and failing to find creative ways to increase both will go down as a regret.

The Heat might say they like their team and it's true that the injury bug wasn't kind to them last season, but everyone that matters in the East got better while Miami didn't do much to improve the roster. Instead, the Heat are banking on younger guys to contribute in order for the team to improve.

Miami reportedly tried to acquire Mikal Bridges and DeMar DeRozan this summer but couldn't make a deal. The ideas were good but the execution hasn't been there, and now the Heat have not done anything of substance this summer.
