Winning 48 games and finishing with the sixth-best net rating in the NBA (plus-4.7) is a positive sign. New head coach Tuomas Iisalo might help unlock the best versions of Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane.

The Houston Rockets have the chance to shake up the NBA this offseason, being involved in trade rumors for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks could be looking to move on from their homegrown star after back-to-back-to-back first-round exits.

The Heat's head coach, Erik Spoelstra, is renowned for managing star players and creating a winning system, which could be just the environment Giannis needs to return to the NBA Finals. Moreover, Miami’s strong market and the allure of South Beach could provide the perfect setting for Giannis to thrive both on and off the court.
