After returning to the postseason last season, the Miami Heat will look to take another step forward in 2018-19.
The Heat finished sixth in the Eastern Conference (44-38) and lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in five games in the opening round of the NBA playoffs.
The good news is, the Heat haven't suffered any significant losses aside from Dwyane Wade, who might be coming back anyway. The bad news is, Miami is basically the same team from a year ago, which doesn't necessarily represent progress.
Still, the Heat are poised to once again challenge for a top-eight spot in the East.
