I think the ”Heat culture” is pretty overrated. Spurs have had a great culture for decades, Utah, Portland and others, yet it’s only the Heat that get mentioned for culture.
The Heat culture consists of live in Miami, that's all it is.

Culture gets confused with leadership.

Heat have Pat Riley and Spo. Spo has proven to be a pretty good coach even without LeBron. Add Butler and the Heat are stacked with Leadership. Pretty hard to * your culture up from there.

Of course all that leadership eventually moves on.

I did want Lowry but perfectly okay with not doing a Green/Maxey/Two 1sts deal.

Hill doesn't move the needle much, but will be handy.

Dipo is fine for Miami whatever, but don't think the East landscape has changed much, except for Bulls now being a sleeper team.

Myers Leonard gave it a good shot!

So Houston essentially ended up with Olynyk, Bradley and a few picks for Harden. Yikes

Could have gotten a much better haul with Philly if their owner was not such a flog who refused to deal with Morey.

I feel for their fans, but that franchise will stink for years due to their dumbass owner..
