It's been a real tough week for the Miami Heat.
The organization that was believed to be the front-runner in the Damian Lillard sweepstakes came up empty-handed as they watched the seven-time All-Star get shipped off to the Milwaukee Bucks, one of its biggest rivals in the Eastern Conference.
Then to rub salt in the wound, Miami also struck out in its pursuit of Jrue Holiday, who was included in the Bucks' package for Lillard to Portland and was flipped to Boston on Sunday.
So, not only have the Heat failed to get better, it also has had to watch its biggest competition improve massively.
