Udonis Haslem taking Heat leadership role with Dwyane Wade in Chicago: With Dwyane Wade now playing for the Chicago Bulls, Udonis Haslem is clearly the Heat’s leader and captain. While Haslem hasn’t organized a team gathering to help unite the players after this offseason’s roster shakeup yet, there has been discussion about it. The team must work to integrate nine new faces (Wayne Ellington, Derrick Williams, James Johnson, Luke Babbitt, Willie Reed, Rodney McGruder, Okaro White, Stefan Jankovic and Dion Waiters) with the 10 players returning. -- The Palm Beach Post Heat's prospects not feeling crowded out, yet: In celebrating a moment of youthful possibilities, the Heat arrived with youthful possibilities of their own, with guards Briante Weber and Rodney McGruder and forwards Stefan Jankovic and Okaro White helping to distribute school supplies. Whether any of the four will be around at the Oct. 26 start of the NBA season is another story, with the Heat offseason roster at 19 and the regular-season maximum limited to 15. -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel
