A: I think Pat not only would have taken the drama associated with the acquisition of a top-tier player but would have embraced it, just as he did with Alonzo Mourning, Shaquille O'Neal and even LeBron. He knows what it takes to win big in this league. Now, if you're asking me whether he has reset his values? To a degree, I believe he realizes that more and more has moved out of teams' hands, that even the best planning can leave a team short on the free-agent market. So, yes, he embraces team play, selflessness and minimal drama. But it has yet to be shown that solid ensemble play can take you deep into the playoffs. Actually, I think what matter in this case is how fans will embrace this team, and whether a solid night's effort will be enough. Way, way, way too much has been made about LeBron, Kevin Durant, Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving getting away. In each case, they got away from 29 other teams, as well. But it seems like every time a star doesn't land in Miami, it's as if some of the light flickers out on the Heat. I'm not sure that is fair. At least until the games begin again.
