Not every team has quality role players. And if your role players fail, how much can you trust them? That star is the common denominator. The ceiling raiser. The difference maker.

Miami does deserve alot of credit that they made the NBA Finals working with lesser talent than the opposition, but in the same breath, what Miami ran into, they definitely don't have enough of to win against. Denver not only became the 2nd ABA team to win a title, they are poised to be what I can describe as the Spurs 2.0 in terms of what the Spurs did during the 2000s to 2014 and being the next dominant team, or at least contending for at least a few years to come. Denver has everything they need to make multiple runs, and while the salary cap will challenge this small market team, they look poised to make their own history. Well done to Denver and it's management for keeping Mike Malone there through their adversities to winning this post season. And well done to Jokic for showing the world, centers still can dominant the NBA.

Miami Heat guideline for next season: 1. Use Tyler Herro & Max Strus as the principal assets to hunt Lillard 2. In the process, try to get rid of Lowry and Duncan 3. Retain Gabe Vincent 4. Give chances to the young players of the team 5. Add size My roster proposal would be: PG Damian Lillard / Gabe Vincent / Goran Dragic SG Matisse Thybulle / Lester Quiñones / Victor Oladipo SF Jimmy Butler / Caleb Martin / Haywood Highsmith PF Bam Adebayo / Nikola Jovic / Jamal Cain C. Mo Bamba / Omer Yurtseven / Orlando Robinson

The Joker murdered them. He alone was the one unstoppable force that sank the Heat. He has no weaknesses.

Every season the champion says they expect to go back to back. But it's nearly impossible in today's NBA. Coaches will be peeled off and offered a head coaching job, players will get their bag to go to another team. It will be tough to bring this squad back intact next season. Just ask the Warriors who were fleeced after their 22' title.

[@mikedavison1466]

It can be done. But it's hard these days. The west goes through Denver now and the east doesn't have an answer to Jokic except maybe Giannis.

Heat is not trading Jimmy or Bam. So what team is willing to trade their star player for a package combination of Hero, Martin, Lowry, Oladipo and future picks? I find it hard to see any team finding any package from Heat attractive enough to trade their star player.

[@mikedavison1466]

Portland is not interested in giving up it's star player without BOTH Herro AND Adebayo. Dame Dollar is under contract for another two years and he doesn't have a player option until the end of the 2024 season. Portland is taking offers from LOTS of teams this offseason and whoever gives the Trailblazers what they want for Dame gets him.

[@mikedavison1466]

Not without the Heat trading BOTH Herro and Adebayo to the Trailblazers. Portland is taking offers from dozens of teams this offseason and Dame's massive Supermax contract would put the Heat into a massive $200 million luxury tax without blowing up the team.

as a Heat fan it's a tough loss but Denver was just the better team. i don't think Butler was 100% and the role players played their worst series at the worst possible time. i don't know if the Nuggets size affected them or what happened but Strus, Vincent, and Martin all played pretty poorly. i think Miami needs to try to package some of Herro, Vincent, & Martin along with picks to go for Lillard or try to sign VanVleet as a free agent because they desperately need more playmaking and scoring. and they need more size because they're just way too small especially when you're coming up against a team like the Nuggets.
