few things from the Herald this past week I been meaning to post in here

The Miami Heat’s designated enforcer for years has been Udonis Haslem — the guy who set hard screens, bloodied his face fighting for rebounds and defended the honor of Dwyane Wade whenever he got fouled hard by the opposing team.

Odds are Haslem, 36, will continue to be that guy this coming season. But if he ever needs back up, he knows newcomer James Johnson is the guy to turn to.

Johnson, 29, is an imposing 6-8, 250-pound forward who has averaged 6.5 points and 3.2 rebounds over his seven year career with the Bulls, Kings, Grizzlies and Raptors. He’s also a second-degree back belt, who is 21-0 in kickboxing and 7-0 in mixed martial arts bouts, his last coming after his freshman year at Wake Forest.

“There are not too many guys I run up on that I might think twice about, but he’s one of the guys,” Haslem said Friday after the Heat completed its fourth day of camp at the Atlantis Paradise Resort.

Good read on Willie Reed here

Before the Heat opened camp in the Bahamas last Monday, Udonis Haslem spent roughly seven weeks serving as the team’s offseason drill sergeant once the calendar turned to August.

He organized afternoon workouts and often made late night phone calls to see who he could drag back out onto the court with him for midnight hoop sessions. Haslem wanted to see who was really hungry and willing to go the extra mile like he has for so many years.

Not only would Willie Reed pick up the phone for Haslem, he would often beat him getting back to AmericanAirlines Arena, where Haslem, 36, would spend an hour or two working on everything Reed, 26, needed to know now that he’s in position to become backup center to Hassan Whiteside.

They worked on the same 15-footer Haslem knocked down for years. They worked on positioning in the paint. All the while, Haslem felt like he was looking in a mirror.

“I look at him man and I just see so much of myself and where I was at 14 years ago,” Haslem said of Reed, who after shining for the Heat in summer league ball two summers ago and spending his first season in the NBA last year with the Brooklyn Nets, found his is way back to Miami this summer on a two-year, $2.1 million deal.

shoutout to UD man. some of you ungrateful b*stards who wont be named have been trying to run him off the squad the last few years, he's the reason why we wont be what many of you think we are going to be. He's the glue that has kept this thing together

Good read on Derrick Williams here, I dont want to post the whole article: Former No. 2 overall pick Williams hoping to finally make his mark with the Heat

Albeit a different position, I think he has a chance to make the kind of impact here they were hoping Gerald Green was going to make last year. I liked Green's effort, he just couldn't put it all together up top. Williams has a chance to do that. When you look at the makeup of the roster, some of the guys we figure to be core players: Whiteside, Reed, Williams, Winslow, Richardson, TJ, Waiters, maybe even Weber, its an average age of 24. We may very well have the perfect storm of young players on the cusp of being great, and those young vets looking to revitalize their careers
