The legalization of sports betting has opened channels for a great American pastime but has done little for the Miami Heat.
Hours from now, the Heat will become one of 30 teams allowed to make moves for new roster additions, though predicting Miami’s exact options is a major and likely unprofitable gamble.
Unlike seasons past, in which Miami has relied on its star power (read: Dwyane Wade) to attract free agents and build teams, the team has little in the way of well-connected players who can cause another four-year (or more) revolution in the NBA.
