Not a real contender? They made it to the finals , barring injury I say they would have taken the Lakers to the birnk if healthy. But since they built the right way they have talent to spare - even in a trade for the Freak.- they will still have several key pieces remaining- several allstars. Why? Because they took the time to build the correct way.
I agree Miami is a contender.
But they are not a good example of building a team. It's was too difficult and they got lucky.
- a) They got a really good player in Adebayo with a mid pick.
- b) Got a superstar.
- c) Got another really good player with another mid pick who overachieved in his first year.
- d) Got lucky developing 2 undrafted players that overachieved in their first year of serious game time
- e) Traded for good vet help
a) So their scouts were lucky? Maybe they have good scouts? Didn't they also draft Herro,and Duncan...was that luck too?
b)they got a superstar? Butler?
c)got another really good player?? Who and how? Luck again?
d) So developing undrafted players is luck too..
e) trading for good vet help ...doesn't that prove my point?
