Former Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce doesn’t believe the Miami Heat will make it out of the first round of the playoffs in the 2023-24 season if they only add veteran guard Damian Lillard.
“Miami was a play-in team, you forgot that. If you just add Dame, this team won’t make it out the first round, with [Dame, Jimmy, and Bam] with no depth … If you gut that team by getting Dame, they borderline might not make it to the playoffs or out the first round.”
