The Miami Heat have moved rather quickly as they sign solid Custodian (Small Forward) Luol Deng and Ex Bulls and Cavs Players to a nice $20 million for 24 months. Deng was looking for Josh Smith Money (4-yrs $54 million) when the Bulls let him go at the last NBA Trade Deadline. The Bulls like most Teams were reluctant to acquire Loul for that type of Money and if he was that important to getting a chip the Bulls would have taken care of him.

Now the Heat is most likely trying to see where Wade County falls in at as he was only effective in the 2013-14 season riding not shotgun but in trunk with King James driving that Heat Whip. In other words at times you didn't even know he was present. Looking at the projected Heat 2014-15 Line Up as C.B. is in the fold.

HEAT 2014-15 Projected Line Up

PG N. Cole
SG Wade County
SF L.Deng
PF C. Bosh
D TBD

Wade County has yet to sign but all indicators point to him retiring as a Heat and in the 2014-15 Fold and beyond. That center position is vital as "Birdman" Chris Anderson is simply a Role Player playing Role,Player minutes. Greg Oden you simply can't trust him. After the King Jams fallout I have to give Pat Riley Credit the Heat will be in the top half of the east assuming they get an above average Center.
