Will Dwyane Wade be back? If so, what marquee free agent will come with him? Is LeBron interested in coming to South Beach? It is an off-season swirling with franchise altering possibilities for the Miami Heat.

’09-’10 Season in Review:
It was a one man show this past season for the Miami Dwyane Wades, er, I mean, Heat. Wade didn’t come near putting up the ridiculous numbers like he did in 2008-2009, but still proved he can carry an average team on his back and into the playoffs.
This past season, the Heat were in a holding pattern trying to accumulate as many expiring contracts as possible while still putting a solid product on the floor. While Miami could have dealt the expiring contracts of veterans Jermaine O’Neal, Udonis Haslem, and Quentin Richardson to add some talent in hopes of making a post-season push, but the franchise was set on clearing as much cap space as possible in hopes of making a run at some of the marquee free agents this off-season. Mission accomplished. Miami only has two players definitely under contract for next season and has the potential to make a major splash in free agency thus re-structuring the fact of their franchise.
