Wade, James and Bosh, and the role players

Miami Heat made their cap space cleared and won the jackpot of getting the Wade, James and Bosh to take the trip to championship. After signing the three of the most celebrated free agents, Heat made their moves to re-sign Udonis Haslem who played for the Heat since 2003 draft. Haslem signed a five-year deal worth $20 million, a roughly $14 million less than he could have received if he chose the offers of either Dallas Mavericks or Denver Nuggets. “This is a combination of having a great opportunity to win, which is why we play this game, and an opportunity to still stay close to my family and be with my mother,” Haslem said, “And also, the opportunity to be a part of something special. We all play this game to win. I’ve never been a person driven by money. I would be changing my DNA if I left just for money,” he added. James, Wade and Bosh took less than what they could have received from other teams individually. With that, Heat will be able to sign certain players that will complement the game of the Big Three. Haslem will take the supporting role. With Haslem’s signing, another thing he considered was Mike Miller’s possible trade to Miami Heat for Michael Beasley. These two gentlemen are extremely close friends. They were both Florida Gators. Upon LeBron’s decision in moving to south beach, Miller considered following James. Miller’s agent, Arn Tellem, wrote on his blog, that Miller talked with four teams, not including the Heat, but that his future “hinged on LeBron’s.” James picked Miami, so Miller followed, and Tellem compared Miller to the Ringo Starr on this new Heat team of stars. “Mike welcomes the chance to be the Ringo in a hot combo that already includes LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh,” Miller’s agent said. As part of the Miami’s rebuilding team, Chalmers, Wade, Miller, James, Haslem and Bosh, there is still a position that is yet to be filled, the center position. Is Zydrunas Ilgauskas ready to leave Cleveland to follow his friend LeBron in Miami? There are speculations that the “Big Z” will be joining his former teammate in MIami. Will he be the next “Cleveland coward?” as labeled by the Cleveland Owner Dan Gilbert about James moving to Miami.
