Erik Spoelstra faces challenges as the Miami Heat heads into the 2025-26 NBA season with low external expectations. The franchise has created confusion regarding its intentions. Internally, they believe in their capabilities and could potentially surprise others. A key issue is playmaking, which was a problem last season. The team hopes rookie Kasparas Jakučionis can contribute significantly, serving as an on-court leader. Miami's offseason moves showed potential, but the success hinges on effective roster utilization and addressing playmaking needs.
"He understands the game really well. He is a true leader and someone who can get a team organized."
"Miami quietly checked a lot of boxes in an opportunistic offseason, but playmaking remains a giant question mark."
