I asked Bosh today who's he concerned about at center other than Dwight & Bynum. His answer: "Not even those two."

LeBron, on his increased work on the block: "That's where I'll be spending most of my time this year, in the paint."

MIAMI—
News, notes and quotes from Tuesday's Miami Heat practice at AmericanAirlines Arena:
Following practice, Dwyane Wade confirmed he has left Nike's Jordan Brand, but declined to discuss his impending move to China-based Li-Ning. Wade switched out of sneakers after practice back into Jordan Brand flip-flops.
Said Wade, "I did mutually part ways with the Nike umbrella. I have parted ways with Jordan Brand."
Chris Bosh was held out of practice by coach Erik Spoelstra, with Spoelstra saying Bosh had soreness in his knee.
Of sitting out Tuesday, Bosh said, "Just training camp legs, just getting really back, acclimated."
Mario Chalmers also was held out of practice, after Spoelstra said Chalmers took a blow to his quad during Monday's practice.
Mike Miller again was limited to only a portion of practice.
Of Miller, Spoelstra said, "He's been doing something every single practice, and we want to keep it that way."
Wade went through Tuesday's entire practice, with Spoelstra saying the team would reevaluate Wednesday, to see how Wade came out of the session.
Wade said his surgical knee has not been an issue during camp, "I've been doing everything I need to do."
Wade said there is nothing to speculation that he will sit out the entire preseason due to his knee. "I will try a preseason game," he said. "It will be more than one. I won't be eight, but it will be more than one."
Spoelstra, on how the team's newcomers are adjusting, "Guys that are new are picking it up really quickly."
Bosh, on next week's trip to China, "That jet lag is a beast. You need about a week to get adjust again."
Asked what fans should expect at Wednesday's open scrimmage at AmericanAirlines Arena, Bosh said, "A bunch of talented, young, hungry players ready to defend their championship."

Bron on the block.
Harelson better make the roster. I bet our 2nd round pick is read that tweet thinking I can do the same.
I'm not hearing much about Harris, Gladness, and Varando.

Oft-injured Rashard Lewis ready to show Miami Heat his range
One after another the three-pointers dropped.
The Heats first day of training camp had just ended, and Rashard Lewis was running through his post-practice shooting routine and putting on a show. He got to the top of the key and couldnt miss. At one point, he drained 11 three-pointers in a row.
Lewis can still make a three-pointer. He will go down as one of the leagues best outside-shooting big men, and no one can take that from him. For Lewis and the Heat, the question isnt with his shooting. Its whether his knees will allow him to move fast enough to get open.
So far, so good.
Through Monday, Lewis has participated in every minute of the Heats training camp. The only pain in his legs has been soreness in his muscles from the rigors of practice. After two years of constant knee problems, he welcomes the fatigue.
I was worried how I would feel the next day after a hard workout, and Ive been going for three days straight and no pain at all, said Lewis, who is ranked fifth in three-point shooting among active players and eighth all-time.
When Lewis knees first began to betray him, he was on a trajectory worthy of future consideration for the Hall of Fame. He left Seattle for Orlando in 2007 as the SuperSonics all-time leader in three-pointers. In his first season with the Magic, he made 226 threes in the regular season and averaged 19.5 points per game in the playoffs. The next year, he knocked LeBron James Cavaliers out of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference finals before falling to the Lakers in five games.
His one taste of the NBA Finals. Thats what brought him to Miami.
Mainly the decision was on where I am in my career and what Ive done in the past, said Lewis, a two-time All-Star. Ive been that main guy. Now Im at a point where I can win an NBA championship.
Nobody can play forever, so Im getting to the point where Ive got to try my best to win an NBA championship before I do retire, and I think this was the best opportunity for me here.
Lewis, 33, wants to go out a champion and was willing to sacrifice money for that opportunity. He is signed for the veterans minimum for the next two seasons but, like other players with the Heat, he likely could have earned more elsewhere. (Lewis will also earn $13.7 million from the Hornets this season.)
Like the money, Lewis isnt concerned with playing time either. He could play five minutes a game. He could play 15 minutes a game. He could be a starter. He said it doesnt matter.
My worry is just to be healthy this season and come in and help these guys win ball games, Lewis said. When you have younger guys like LeBron James or Dwyane Wade that are the stars on the team, you got to sacrifice. If you dont sacrifice, you might find yourself at home, watching them on TV, or not even in the league.
So its sacrifice time for me.
Lewis played small forward in Seattle and converted to power forward in Orlando. His versatility intrigued the Heat, and he has been learning both positions to see where he best fits into coach Erik Spoelstras positionless basketball. If Lewis remains healthy, the lineup possibilities, as James said on media day, would be scary for opponents.
For now, however, Lewis is just trying to fit in and prove hes still quick enough to play defense and move in and out of transition. Spoelstra has been keeping a close eye on Lewis lateral movement.
Is he capable athletically of moving and making the plays that he was able to do two years ago? Spoelstra said. He looks healthy. I think that is a victory right now.
The rhythm, learning a new system offensively, that will take time. I understand that and Im not putting pressure on him for that. Anybody that misses extended periods of time, there will be an acclimation to your rhythm.
Lewis started just 15 games last season in Washington before losing his position to Chris Singleton, a rookie from Florida State. Lewis troublesome knees forced him to miss the majority of the season, and he averaged 7.8 points. He has averaged 16.1 points in his career.
Lewis has undergone a pair of procedures to his knees (platelet-rich plasma treatment) in the past two years to stave off tendinitis. The pain completely wrecked his shot in 2011. A career 38.8 percent shooter from distance, he shot 23.9 percent from three-point range last season.
Ive been working with the training staff here and then had the procedure done and I feel great, Lewis said. I just have to stay on top of the rehab and continue to strengthen my hips and continue to strengthen my legs and not let it come back.

Breh's, if our shooters don't have career slump years, this team is not going to be fukked with barring injuries.
