A: I wouldn't go that far, only because if this was the ultimate end game there wouldn't have been such a over-the-top pitch for Gordon Hayward. And I'm also not ready to go as far as calling Kelly Olynyk as a "fabulous" talent, let alone Jordan Mickey. But, putting all of that aside, there is plenty to be said about continuity. As Tyler Johnson said, Pat Riley stood committed to this core at last season's trading deadline, so now might be the time for his players to repay that trust. The good thing for you is that we should know by the Heat's Dec. 9 visit to Mexico City whether this team can pick up where it left off last season.
