May 21st News Recently, NBA legend Wade was interviewed by USA Today and talked about the Heat's performance this season.

He said: "Well, you know that Jimmy Butler and the Heat are obviously having a bad time. But can they reach the division final after losing their core players? This is not in common sense, and rebuilding takes time to cheer up. We saw that after Jimmy left, they lost 10 games in a row, then won 6 games, and then made it to the playoffs. But to be honest, they shouldn't have entered the playoffs, and the offseason should have started earlier. But that's Miami's fighting spirit - this toughness allows them to fight to be swept by Cleveland even if they are not in their best form. If other teams might have gone home on holiday, that's how they're going to be. It is the culture we built there: even if we are not at the peak, we have to fight to the end and be tough. "

" Now all we need to do is rebuild. Every year is a new beginning, and management must make sure the lineup is competitive - in Miami, we only aim for the championship. If we don't win the championship, this year is not a success. Although we haven't won some unforgettable seasons, as players and teams, we will eventually be defined by the championship. So a lot of work needs to be done from top to bottom. And I, as a person with a statue standing outside, are just open my eyes and prick up my ears to see what they will do."
