The Miami Heat need to move forward following a difficult season that included the long-lasting Jimmy Butler saga, a 37-45 record, and a first-round ouster in four games by the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's impressive that the Heat made the playoffs, following a 10th-place finish in the Eastern Conference before they earned the No. 8 seed through the play-in tournament.
But a run through the playoffs only to be met with a first-round sweep isn't up to par for the Erik Spoelstra-coached franchise who made the NBA Finals in two of the past six seasons. Miami president Pat Riley isn't afraid to make changes for the team to get back to their championship expectations. He made his intentions clear that change is on the horizon in what's shaping up to become a busy offseason in Florida.
