The Miami Heat are one of the most successful teams in the NBA.
They have won three championships and have made it to the NBA Finals seven times.
In the past 14 seasons, the Heat have won two championships and made it to the NBA Finals six times.
Over the past five seasons, the Heat have made two NBA Finals appearances thanks to the help of All-Star Jimmy Butler.
But Miami has not won it all since LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were there.
According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the Heat organization believes it currently has the talent to win another championship.
“The Heat’s belief is that health and game availability — not a serious talent deficit — is what mostly has held Miami back,” Jackson noted, via NBACentral.

The Heat definitely have plenty of depth and talent to be a contending team year in and year out.
Not only is Butler a star, but so is All-Defensive center Bam Adebayo.
Other quality role players like Tyler Herro, Kevin Love and Terry Rozier are key pieces on the roster.
It also isn’t a coaching issue.
Head coach Erik Spoelstra has been leading the team since the 2008-09 season.
During the NBA’s 75th Anniversary season in 2021, he was named one of the league’s 15 greatest coaches.
This team simply needs to stay healthy to be successful.
If they can, Butler and Co. have the potential to do something really special.
