After a bad run in the playoff series last season, the Miami Heat made some good additions during the offseason.

Tucker on a two-year $14.35 million contract, and Markieff Morris on a one-year $2.64 million contract, to their roster have boosted the Heat in many departments.

The front office re-signed the services of Duncan Robinson on a five-year deal that would see him earn $90 million, brought back Dewayne Dedmon on a $2.39 million one-year deal and re-signed Victor Oladipo on a veteran's minimum deal worth $2.39 million. With lots of experience now added to the team, the Heat can now boast of a team capable of pulling some weight in the NBA Eastern Conference and a real chance at the title.
