08:08 AM ET 07.05 | Though some believe the Heat roster, if it includes a new center, could wind up squeezing Joel Anthony out of minutes, there is sentiment that the 2011-12 (or '12-13) team may not look significantly different. I'm not as sold on the Heat landing a replacement starting center, based on what is available in free agency. I could see Joel returning as a nominal starter, with [Chris Bosh] getting significant minutes in the middle and the Heat often playing small, which is the way the league is headed, anyway. Also, do not overstate Pittman. He does not have any guaranteed money remaining on his deal. He will not be gifted playing time.

When's the snipes at the King going to stop? The Heat need to go after Nene and cut the deadwood from it's roster, i.e. Dampier and Maglorie.
