People forget but Dwight didn't just make a good team defense great (Heat with guys like Winslow, Deng, and Richardson) or a great team defense elite (Kawhi and the Spurs, green and GSW)...he turned a TRASH defensive team into straight elite. You could put Dwight on a team with Nash, Harden, Turkoglu, and Boozer yet he'd still be elite.
Dude was a monster presence in his prime. If Whiteside became that...wow

I expect big thing from TJ if JRich is going to miss any extended period of time he should get a the lion share of the minutes at both guard position. Do we actually no who are starting two guard or is it an open competition.
Heat's Haslem creating jobs for low-income applicants in Miami
The priority at Miami Heat training camp has been helping indoctrinate the newcomers. But it is a community initiative to provide jobs for low-income workers that has power forward Udonis Haslem particularly enthused about what's about to happen back in South Florida.
Haslem on Friday announced a partnership with his restaurant operations, including planned openings of Einstein Bros. Bagels and Starbucks at Jackson Memorial Hospital, that will target unemployed job candidates from low-income families.
"It was an opportunity to provide for people that need the opportunity to work, people that might be from low-income homes, from my areas and neighborhood, Liberty City and different places like that that have good ideas, have good dreams, have the goals that they have for themselves but they really don't have a way to get to those goals and really don't have a way to achieve them," he said.
"So I provide these people with the opportunity to work, build character, build wealth and provide for their families and help put themselves though school, college, take care of their kids, or whatever the situation might be."
Haslem, who already operates multiple South Florida restaurant outlets, including Subway sandwich shops, agreed to a one-year, $4 million contract with the Heat in July.
"It's very important to me," he said of such civic-corporate ventures. "I never thought that I'd be in this situation that I'm in, but things just grew."

Wow people really don't give a fukk about the squad this year, damn near all of the games listed on StubHub are listed for under $40. 
The Warriors; Bulls, Knicks, and Cavs games are the only $100+ tix games.
Y'all Miami brehs should feast off these cheap tickets. Sure the team will be below average, but the Heat will be entertaining. The offense will likely be more up tempo, Whiteside will have more touches, and Winslow/JRich will continue to develop.

I'll shell out the money to see my 2 Gawd but I ain't be buying game tickets to see Dion Waiters and Luke Babbit trot out.
I'll just catch the non-Wade heat games in the comfort of my crib where Hennessy and rum can ease the pain.

I'm lucky I won't even be tempted to watch this season being up here now. If none of the games against the Knicks or nets are nationally televised, that gives a total of 13 heat games I would be able to watch this season, and I'm not looking to spend money to see a lineup this bad and especially not in a game against the Knicks or nets. This offense is gonna unprecedented levels ofI'll shell out the money to see my 2 Gawd but I ain't be buying game tickets to see Dion Waiters and Luke Babbit trot out.

. Waiters, Wayne Ellington, Luke Babbit, Derrick Williams, at the moment Winslow still has to prove he's got value on offense. I don't even want to think what this team will look like if Whiteside misses any stretches of games.

Sinister is a system
I thought the same thing but white is not as good or isnt yet on defense as dwight but his offense is better. Still that was a fun team to watch and that style got them to the finals once
His form appears to be much improved, we'll see if it translates to the games but it looks like his offseason work with the Heat's shooting coach has paid off. He also looks like he has dropped a few lbs which should help his explosiveness I thought he was too bulky at times last year
I've learned over the past couple of years that this is probably the most over exaggerated thing in Miami sports.
A toxic front office or poor talent will kill that in an instant.
Look how well attracting free agents has worked out for the Dolphins, especially when Jeff Ireland was here.
LA is supposed to be another place that players want to be in. NY is another. They've struggled in free agency for years now.
If we want to attract free agents, we don't even need to wait another generation for young players to forget how the Heat treated Wade. If Justice Winslow, Josh Richardson, or Hassan Whiteside take the next step and become superstar players, people will come. Living in Miami will just be one of the perks.

Do we think Richardson has that kinda potential? I like his energy on defense, but he doesn't do much as a ball handler.I've learned over the past couple of years that this is probably the most over exaggerated thing in Miami sports.
