The Miami Heat luckily didn't lose Chris Bosh as they sweetened the offer once King James said he was headed back to "Believeland". The former Dallas, Texas Lincoln HS Star was almost headed back to his home state playing with "Dwight of Three Stripes" and Nike Basketball's "Fear the Beard" James Harden of Clutch City.
Dwayne Wade is still the #2 option but the Heat picked up some valuable pieces that will keep them out of the southeast alley headed to the basement. Heat lead man Erik Spoelstra will have to do his best coaching job for the Heat to get into that top 4 in the east in the 2014-15 season.
#HEATnation 2014-15 Vitals
Franchise Piece (s): Wade County, Chris Bosh, U-D, Heat Dancers
Building Blocks: Luol Deng, Shabazz Napier, Shawne Williams, Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole, Josh McRoberts,
Top Ocean Drive Chaperon (Heat top rookie): Shabazz Napier
Key Free Agent: Luol Deng
Sleeper Player (s): Shawne Williams for the former Memphis Tigers standout is a true stretch-4 and he can guard the 3-4-5 in the post on some night.
Trade Piece (s): Let the season evolve as they have no real trade pieces looking at the roster now.
#HEATnation 2014-15 Outlook 4th in the Southeast...
A really big question watching the Heat in pre-season brings up the question with LeBron gone handling the Spalding orange a lot who moves to the point? Mario Chalmers and Rookie Shabazz Napier will get that call backing up Norris Cole who appears to be the #1 lead guard on the roster. This season should be the coming out party for Norris Cole!
Wade County will have some help as the Heat picked up Shannon Brown and should get major minutes. If the Heat have a huge void in the roster it's a shooting guard.
The small forward handled by Luol Deng who should help the Heat immensely on both ends of the hardwood as one of the best two-way players in the Logo. The "Circle City Strangler" D-Granger might have enough left in the tank as James Ennis was impressive in summer league but it's a huge step up for some playing in the best basketball league in the world.
Bosh will get back to being Bosh and pencil in 25 ppg 10 rpg. Chris "Birdman"Anderson and free agent pick yup Josh McRoberts who should be a big deal on that front line with Bosh as the Heat will have two left-handers in the paint. Former LSU Center Justin Hamilton will help "Birdman" man the center slot as the Heat must keep Bosh at his natural position to flourish at PF.
This will be real work for the Heat moving James out the mix and I expect a bigger drop off than most expect!
