As an organization, the Miami Heat are known for many things.
The Godfather himself, president Pat Riley. Elite head coach Erik Spoelstra. Lifer Udonis Haslem. The days of Shaquille O’Neal and Dwyane Wade. The Big Three Era.
And now, they’ve added something else to that list: finding diamonds in the rough.
Last season, after losing Wade, the ball club took on multiple players who were serious question marks; James Johnson and Dion Waiters being the best examples. Many around around the league called the Heat crazy, fans started to lose hope, but the front office knew better.
