The Miami Heat are an anomaly. Not only do they seemingly always try to be as competitive as possible, but they are willing to risk the future and past reputations to do so. While other teams are trying to find the most efficient or politically correct way to tank it, the Miami Heat are always in win-now mode.
To contrast this way of maneuvering to other franchises, the Cleveland Cavaliers seemingly stay in tank mode, unless there is a guy named LeBron James on the roster. The Phoenix Suns are another organization that often finds themselves in this scenario, as they haven’t won 25 or more games in a season since the 2014-2015 season, and have only crossed the 45 win threshold once in the last nine seasons.
