Heat just need to hit the reset button now. Tank this year, nice draft class ahead of them. Add another blue chipper prospect to go with Whiteside and Winslow, then hit the free agent market next year. Some big name will go to Miami, it's too good of an organization and ownership group not too.

The difference between Miami and the Lakers is that Pat Riley is well respected throughout the league and Jim Buss is not and in many cases, not even in his own building.
I think the Lakers will win 20-30 this year and I don't mind the signings, as their young core isn't ready to compete for a title anyway, but until Buss is gone, the Lakers won't be a top attraction.
