As we reach the end of July, the 2014-15 Miami Heat are starting to take shape in the post-Big Three era. Heat president Pat Riley bounced back from perceived demise and has rebuilt the Heat to be a strong contender in the Eastern Conference.
Some of the cast of characters you’re already familiar with: Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade will be back to lead the charge; Udonis Haslem remains the heartbeat of the Heat; Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole, and Chris Andersen are fan-favorites that are staying in Miami.
Now it’s time to meet the new guys. Some of these guys, you’ve probably cursed at in various playoff series’ over the past four years; well, they’re the good guys now. A couple of kids are also going to get their first tastes of the NBA, as the Heat look to continue their tradition of success.
