A chain is only as strong as its weakest link: why it’s relevant in the NBA

Questions have come up on whether the Miami Heat can keep the current roster together next season. Instead of looking at the team on a player-by-player basis, an alternative method of how much Micky Arison allocates to each position gives an insight on building a winning team.

Wikipedia writes, “For the 2017–18 season, the latest projection is $102 million for the salary cap and $122 million for the luxury tax limit.” To simplify matters $100 million will be used as a basis, where $20 million is spent on centers, $40 million on forwards, and $40 million on guards.
