The 2023-24 NBA season is near, so at the end of another eventful summer we take our annual trip too close to the sun, daring you to stand the swelter of these views. This is Hot Takes We Might Actually Believe.
The Miami Heat closed last regular season with a negative net rating, 10th in the Eastern Conference. They got waxed by the Atlanta Hawks in their play-in tournament opener and trailed the Chicago Bulls in the final minutes of the elimination game, needing a career game from Max Strus just to earn the final playoff berth.
Miami performed like a sub-.500 team last regular season and lost two starters, replacing both with Josh Richardson, who played on five teams in four seasons between stints on South Beach, and a prayer. The Heat could easily miss the playoffs this season, as they nearly did last season, before Caleb Martin's brief flirtation with stardom highlighted a host of outlying playoff performances for an anomalous eighth seed.
Butler has not played more than 65 games in a season since the 2016-17 campaign, his last in Chicago. The other Bulls from those days that Tom Thibodeau ran ragged — Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and Luol Deng — have long since passed their prime. For more of last season, Butler battled soreness in the same knee that required meniscus surgery in 2018, before logging significantly more playoff minutes than anyone.
