Miami Heat Reforms as New Team Since LeBron James Left for Cleveland Cavaliers

The NBA season 2014-15 is well underway and teams are already battling it out to have a chance to compete in the playoffs and ultimately, the championship title. One of the most watched teams, the Cavaliers, are looking to be one of the more likely teams to be champion but what about LeBron James' previous team, the Miami Heat?

During the summer signing season, James decided to return home to Cleveland and end his fruitful career with the Heat. The loss of James may look to be dire for the Heat but in truth, the exact opposite happened. The team is determined to make do even without James.

Their roster includes Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Luol Deng, Josh McRoberts, Mario Chalmers, Udnois Haslem, Norris Cole, Chris Andersen, Danny Granger, and Shannon Brown. The line-up is a pretty good but zooming out beyond the roster, it would be hard to look at Miami without James.

Try as they might to distance themselves from a former teammate, there's no denying that they will be crossing paths often in the season. Still, Miami Heat is appearing more relaxed this season indicating that the team had prepared for this situation.

Apparently, they aren't interested in rebuilding the team which won them four consecutive years in the finals and two championships but instead is working on a new team. Wade, Bosh, and Deng are still good and the team's bench is even better and tougher.

"I don't think we're as talented as years past, and we're going to have to make up for it in toughness," says Bosh.

"The Heat culture, the Heat code, that will remain the same. Our standard and our expectations of what our organization is all about, that remains the same. That's one thing you can count on in a league where there's constant change," says Miami coach Erik Spoelstra.
