The Miami Heat is facing necessary roster changes after recent playoff eliminations and a losing record last season. Team president Pat Riley emphasized the need for change after falling short in trade attempts for star Kevin Durant, who was traded to the Houston Rockets. With the NBA Draft approaching, the Heat holds the 20th overall pick but currently lacks a second-round selection, leading to further strategic decisions. The upcoming offseason presents critical questions for the team's future direction following three challenging seasons.
"Well, I think we do have to make changes," Riley said during his season-ending news conference in May. "There’s no doubt. There has to be some change."
The Heat now moves on to the NBA Draft, which will take place this week at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The first round of the draft will be held Wednesday (8 p.m., ABC and ESPN).
The Phoenix Suns are trading Durant to the Houston Rockets, choosing the Rockets' offer over the Heat's proposed trade package.
With plenty of questions still to answer this offseason, the first big question the Heat needs to address is whether it.
