Let me be clear: it's not an anti-Heat thing. It's just me wanting us to have our own identity.
The Cavs
will have their own identity, that's
guaranteed. First of all, the largest part of the Heat identity came from Bron, Bosh, and Wade. Two of those three won't be in Cle and the one that is was with the Cavs first, anyway, so that's hardly us borrowing a page from the Heat but the other way around.
Second, Kyrie is a
very different player than Wade. And if we did land Love, he's a somewhat different player than Bosh -- certainly different enough games that no one is going to confuse them.
Third, even with Miller, Jones, and Allen, the Cavs would still be 75% non-Heat players. Don't know why the 25% minority somehow overshadows the 75% majority. When you step back, it doesn't seem like something that needs worrying about.
Finally, a great deal of team identity comes from the coaching and the system. What Blatt does and how he does it won't have much in common with Spoelstra. The team will
automatically look and feel differently. Ask yourself this: would even these recent Heat teams have looked the same if it had been Popovich or Jackson coaching them instead of Spoelstra? Yes, they would've still been winning teams (probably even more so) but they would've gotten there in a different way. Blatt will use Bron and meld the team in his own unique way that should become clear no later than after the All-Star break of his very first season.
