This is what the Miami Heat attempted to pre-empt in July, when the franchise that rarely, even surreptitiously, alludes to personnel deliberations did just that.
“We have enough,” an Erik Spoelstra favorite, basically was the word from on high, issued behind the scenes to those charged with pontificating on the team’s direction.
While not exactly those three words, the front office took the rare step of stressing they were comfortable heading into training camp with a roster that lost power forward P.J. Tucker early in free agency, would lose forward Markieff Morris late in free agency, gained forward Nikola Jovic in the NBA draft, and otherwise stood pat with 13 returning players from a team that closed within one game of the NBA Finals.
