If they follow this prescription, what's Mia's over/under on wins next season?
And what is their playoff ceiling?
If we follow my rx of KD, Fears and Fleming, then Im thinking 53 wins.  
Playoff ceiling would be Finals.
Thats my early entry for RBW's prediction thread.
 
That doesn’t seem right at all. If we get a lottery pick that means forget KD because the mental gymnastics need to sell him coming here just don’t add up. If we make the playoffs, good bye pick but then you have a shot to convince KD to want to come here. It’s an either or situation unfortunately.
 
KD isn’t a Neanderthal I doubt he would view the situation as binary as that
He knows ball and nearly signed with us pre Warriors simply for Spo. Spo I really feel could get career high efficiency out of KD. Everytime KD has had an opportunity he has expressed interest in coming here, but that timing has never worked out. I think both sides have something to offer the other in a potential fit. What Miami lacks desperately is on ball scoring, and the ability to close out games. 
Give them a top 5 scoring talent of all time, and you fix that problem, while also allowing Bam and Herro to settle into the roles they should be playing to compliment him. 
They could do some really interesting things putting KD at the top of the key and working off ball actions with Bam and Herro, with Ware as the primary roll guy with KD and then you just need somebody to corner camp opposite side for spacing purposes. You could live in something like that for entire quarters down the stretch.
