I hate to admit it because I hate Wade unlike any NBA player who has ever lived, but Wade still has some in the tank. Before getting shut down by SA, he averaged 20-4-5 on 54.5% shooting and 46% from three in his previous series. He's definitely on the slide, but not enough to disregard him.
Bosh can definitely step it up with the offensive/defensive versatility he's learned in Miami but with more FGA and McRoberts behind him.
Deng is a solid defender and overall player. Napier is going to surprise some people with his NBA-ready he is. They won't be anywhere near where they were with LeBron, but it doesn't take a lot to get into the top 4 teams in the East-- may only take 44-45 wins to get there.
