The Miami Heat are entering this season with what should be some of their highest expectations in a few seasons. They have added a star, gotten rid of some excess baggage, while some of their current players have seemingly taken a step forward in their development.
As they have traded he who is not to be named to the Portland Trail Blazers, that creates a void in the big man rotation for the Miami Heat. While most will immediately assume that current Heat big man Bam Adebayo should automatically step into that role and take on the mantle as the next great Miami Heat big man and current leader in the rotation, that may not be the case.
