In losing LeBron, it seems there was an emphasis put on getting players back on the roster and that’s been the mission for Pat Riley, a mission that so far has proven to be very successful.
According to Sun Sentinel reporter Ira Winderman, the Miami Heat have re-signed forward Udonis Haslem to South Beach and will try to return a title there next season.

This is great news for the Heat as it shows that the chemistry and continuity that last season had will carry over into this new season. It’s not certain that Miami will win anything this year but besides losing LeBron James, this is largely the same team with some major improvements in Luol Deng, Danny Granger and Josh McRoberts.
