local media here talking as if it's a done deal but I also haven't seen it by any of the bigs

Good move for them. Now who plays center? Cuz bosh is not a center

Ok, How the hell do they have cap space? I have no idea how the stupid NBA works so someone explain this to me.

Beasley's cap space mostly goes to Miller.

gob ... they traded away beasley which gave them an extra 5 million for this year. and lebron said last night that wade, bosh, and himself were gonna take a tiny pay cut. they are waiting to issue the contracts to them until they get an idea of just how much money they have to pay them.

[Seanie Mac]

There was also an increase in the salary cap this year

wade, lebron & bosh haven't signed yet. Chalmers is the only player on their roster, so they have about 57 million in cap room lol

those 3 will take less than 16.6 million, probably closer to 14 million or so.

once you've reached the cap, you can always sign as many players as they want to minimum contracts, so that'll probably fill the roster after miller and the 3, unless they want to take even less money

Miller deal essentially is what Beasley was making, who plays center is a great question

I have heard Ilgauskas, Brad Miller, and Shaq tossed around this morning as potential players nothing reported yet

Brad Miller may be a good fit IMO Ilgauskas wont leave Clev Shaq would cost too much
Miller is a big body playoff experience solid veteran who wont demand too much money, I guess we will see

They also have Pittman & Varnado that they drafted this season, but I agree they need to get someone else cause both of those guys are gonna need some developing

Heat have Jon Scheyer on their summer league squad also and I think he could be the shooter that they need

[bigsportsguy2006]

i said the same thing above ups ... i think vernardo and pittman can be contributing rookies this year
