06:41 AM ET 05.06 | It will be challenging for the Heat to upgrade significantly this summer because it is up against the luxury-tax threshold and wants big 2010 salary-cap space to re-sign Dwyane Wade and another free agent (potentially Chris Bosh or Amare Stoudemire). But owner Micky Arison said this week the Heat is willing to expedite the process this summer if the opportunity arises. ''If a player you would be targeting became available in 2009, why wouldn't you do it?'' Arison said of possibly trading for a 2010 free agent. ``. . . We have not historically been a very patient organization. We're an organization that moves quickly. If the opportunity came along, we would consider it. But we're doing it under certain restraints.'' The sense here is that modest tinkering is most likely.
