NBA: Power ranking the top 10 teams as preseason begins
6. Miami Heat
The biggest winners of free agency provided a big boost in their rankings. The additions of Kyle Lowry, P.J. Tucker, and Victor Oladipo only make one of the most stacked rosters in the league that much stronger.
Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Duncan Robinson all were with the team during its 2020 run to the NBA Finals and remain pivotal pieces of the Miami roster.
It is clear Miami intends on making it back to the promised land to reclaim what they lost to the Lakers two years prior.
