Miami Heat

You can’t write a piece about a superstar changing teams without including the Miami Heat. It’s an unwritten law.

OK, not really. Still, the Heat often find themselves associated with the league’s biggest names. Ever since LeBron James took his talents to South Beach, they’ve loomed over the league as a potential superteam.
