The Miami Heat lost LeBron James during the summer of 2014 and should be competitive in 15-16 even if it's still unclear how the pieces fit.

“How many teams, if you lose the best player in the game, can have a compelling team 13 months later?” said Erik Spoelstra.

“It’s not the kind of lineup where you can just throw it out there, and you know it will work,” Spoelstra said. “It’s going to take practice.”
