The Miami Heat are in win-now mode and came as close as it gets to reaching the NBA Finals without managing to get the job done. Now, they will need to use the offseason to reconfigure the roster.
There was no shortage of excitement surrounding the addition of Kyle Lowry last offseason. The Toronto Raptors obliged to his desire to join the Heat and even participated in a sign-and-trade to make it happen.
Lowry, 37, showed real signs of slowing down and wasn’t able to live up to expectations when the Heat needed him most in the Eastern Conference Finals. A change could be needed at the point guard position once again.
The close relationship shared between Butler and Lowry is well-documented. It’s unlikely the Heat superstar would be content with his close friend being traded.
