9. Bring in Three-Point Specialists
[xyz-ihs snippet=”in-article-fb”]
Today’s NBA has evolved into an entirely different beast. Nowadays, the team that can knock down the long ball at the highest rate tends to go further. We may have the Golden State Warriors to thank for this. That’s just the way the game is played today.
The Heat, meanwhile, have struggled to knock down three-point shots since Ray Allen and Mike Miller left town. In 2015-16, Miami ranked 27th out of 30 NBA teams in three-pointers made. The Heat do not have a pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, so they must acquire three-point specialists through free agency or perhaps via trade.
The team can’t rely on Dwyane Wade to hit a slew of uncharacteristic threes as he did in the team’s playoff run this season. They must bring in guys who can score from beyond the arc and do so consistently. A guy like Harrison Barnes, who will enter the offseason as a restricted free agent, could be the perfect fit on a Miami team that struggles to knock down the long ball. Perhaps Miami could look into getting a deal done with him or look into another player or two that can provide timely three-point shots.
