The Heat didnt do anything in the offseason to improve their roster, so if the Heat see any improvement this season it’ll have to come from growth from Mario Chalmers, Michael Beasley and Daequan Cook. Dwyane Wade had a career season last year, carrying his team to the 5th seed and losing in 7 games in the first round. Can Wade suit up for 70-80 games again this season? If he can the Heat will make the playoffs, if he cant…. then this season might end badly. Michael Beasley with be the other key factor this season besides Wade’s health, can Beasley get past his demons and play like the player miami expected when drafting him 2nd overall out of Kansas State?
