Ira Winderman: Thinking big led to losses, but Heat likely will do it all again

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 09:37:44 GMT

After an uneven season and rocky play-in ride, beyond debate has been that the Miami Heat have pushed through with a roster that has been lacking, needing a Friday high-wire act against the Chicago Bulls to advance.To some, that is a condemnation of Pat Riley, Andy Elisburg, Adam Simon, Nick Arison and the front office.And yet, no less than Riley, Elisburg, Simon and Arison essentially came to that conclusion well before any outsiders.So to consider the Heat’s eventual end game at the conclusion of this postseason, first go back to the start, to last July, when the Heat had pieces to put into play, alternate means to distribute their payroll, the ability to delay on what became a four-year, $130 million extension to Tyler Herro.Because as distressing as it might seem, history could well repeat itself.Yes. Whales. Harpoons. Big Fish. Dream outlooks. Nightmare possibilities, this hardly a team that plays for a No. 8 seed.The primary reason the Heat avoided becoming hard capped l...
