Heat Nation Predictions: Which Miami Heat Players Are Staying and Leaving?

5. The 2015 Offseason Prediction

The Heat are coming off of a very disappointing 2014-15 campaign that saw them finish 37-45.

While some Heat fans would love for the team to go on a big spending spree and bring in big-name free agents, that isn’t likely to happen this offseason.

During his end-of-season press conference, Riley stressed the desire to bring back all of the Heat’s core rotation players for the 2015-16 season. The reason being that these players weren’t on the court together healthy for a full season. Had they been, it’s almost safe to assume Miami would have been an elite team in the Eastern Conference.

The team could sign a player or two in free agency that end up being key rotation players, but the core of Hassan Whiteside, Bosh, Wade and Dragic will be back together for at least one more year in Miami.
