The title window for the Miami Heat has potentially passed them by for now with the Eastern Conference looking the way it does. Securing a talented player like Tyler Herro long-term is vital though. They will likely compete for a spot in the 2023 NBA Finals but will need to bring everything they have to beat the other teams in the East.
