Herro HEAT's up the Summer Leauge
"Miami has only made the playoffs twice in the last five years, but it now looks like they have the foundation
to remain competitive
well into the future. After landing a star in free agency with Butler and surrounding him with quality talent
like Herro in the draft,

One Last Dance Finale
"Dwyane Wade went out in style and in front of some of his best friends.
The retiring Miami Heat star notched a triple-double in his final career game Wednesday night against the
Brooklyn
Nets. And he did it with LeBron James, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony watching from courtside seats.
Wade secured his fifth career triple-double in the closing minute of the third quarter when he drove and
fittingly
kicked to Udonis Haslem for a jumper from the top of the free-throw circle and his 10th assist. Wade and Haslem
both
came into the NBA with the Heat in 2003 and have been teammates in 15 of their 16 seasons."

One Last Dance
"I feel like it's right to ask you guys to join me for one last dance, for one last season,
This is it. I've given this game everything that I have, and I'm happy about that. I'm going to give it
for one last season, everything else I have left."
