Bill Simmons showed some major love to the Miami Heat despite the fact that the public has dismissed the team after it failed to trade for Damian Lillard this offseason.
Simmons believes that the Heat will be fine even though they missed out on Lillard and lost Gabe Vincent and Max Strus in the offseason.
Simmons also believes that Tyler Herro could be in for a big season after being dangled in trade rumors all summer.
The Heat made the NBA Finals last season without Herro playing in the majority of the playoffs (he was injured in Game 1 of the first round against Milwaukee), so the team may be even better if he can stay healthy this season.
The Heat have won at least 44 games in three of the last four seasons, and they won 53 in the 2021-22 season to earn the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
