The Miami Heat were probably caught somewhat off guard when LeBron James returned to the

Cleveland Cavaliers

. The Heat rebounded by re-signing center Chris Bosh and guard Dwyane Wade while also agreeing to deals with forwards Danny Granger, Josh McRoberts and most importantly, Luol Deng.

The Miami Heat are still confident they can take home another Southeast Division crown and make noise in the playoff once again. However, Chris Bosh knows just how difficult it is going to be adjusting to new teammates and a new system.

“It’s a process, and every time we step out on the floor we’re used to being extremely successful and for things to come a little easier,” Chris Bosh told Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald. “We haven’t had this process in a very long time. We’re used to the same guys coming back, and we know our rotations and it’s just a matter of getting in shape. We’re used to knowing where the ball is going to go. We knew everything.

“And now is a time when we have to really be patient with it because even though we’re out there playing, we have to remember that we’ve only played eight preseason games together and we’re not going to be where we need to be.”

In fact, it may be Chris Bosh who has the most difficult transition. Rather than sitting back and letting LeBron James and Dwyane Wade take the reigns, Chris Bosh will be asked to be the man in Miami this season.

Chris Bosh averaged 16.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 51.6% from the field, 33.9% from three and 82.0% from the free trow line last season.
