The 2015-16 NBA season was unfortunately a repeat of health issues for Chris Bosh. Despite this, the Miami Heat got knocked out of the second round of the playoffs in a seven-game series against the Raptors. Here are five roster moves they need to make.

The Miami Heat did the Miami Heat thing last year: They kept winning despite everything that was going on. This team was set up so well that it could lose one of its stars for the last third of the season and still make it to Game 7 of the second round of the playoffs.

Chris Bosh’s health is a concern. Not for salary cap reasons or basketball reasons, but it is a concern for health reasons. I hope for Chris Bosh’s sake and yes, for the sake of basketball he is able to take the court for all of next season and that his health scares of the past two seasons are behind him.

Now, back to the Heat team as a whole. To finish third in the East without Bosh for a third of the season is incredible. The problem going forward for the Heat is they have only six players on guaranteed contracts for next season. One of those players is Bosh.

Of the starting five, only Bosh and Goran Dragic are guaranteed to be playing in Miami next year.
I know that they will be fine, since no Pat Riley team is ever in too much trouble, but here are five roster moves they need to make.
