How the Miami Heat Can Build a Top-15 Offense

The Miami Heat face a huge challenge after Tyler Herro’s ankle surgery and Jimmy Butler’s exit — can Erik Spoelstra still build a top-15 offense? In this episode of Locked On Heat, Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down Miami’s offensive struggles, the four pillars needed to fix them, and whether the Heat can replicate the Celtics’ formula of high-volume threes and low turnovers. We also debate if Nikola Jović should start, the impact of Davion Mitchell, and how Bam Adebayo must step up.
