As the rebuild continues for the Miami Heat, who revamped the roster following a loss in the NBA Finals and of one LeBron James, plenty of veterans remain on the market.

Most notably, guard Jordan Crawford, wing Wayne Ellington and big man Andray Blatche are still looking for work. They come with their baggage, but have gotten significant playing time last season at positions of need for the Heat.

According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s Ira Winderman, the Heat are likely to add one more veteran before the season and it could be one of those aforementioned guys.

Not only does/did he know that, but he apparently always knew they still would be available this late in the offseason, making it more of a buyers’ market for teams to dictate such additions on their own terms. As stated above, I still see the Heat adding the type of veteran who essentially would become a lock to make their roster.

The Heat figure to have 11 locks on the roster: The projected starting lineup of Mario Chalmers, Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng, Josh McRoberts and Chris Bosh as well as Norris Cole, Chris Andersen, Shabazz Napier, Danny Granger, Udonis Haslem and James Ennis.

That leaves four available roster spots for Reggie Williams, Shawne Williams, Shannon Brown, Justin Hamilton, Tyler Johnson and Khem Birch to compete for. Hardly a daunting bench crew. Hamilton figures to have an advantage because of his experience with the Heat, as do Reggie Williams (for his three-point shooting) and Brown (his handles).

Still, it seems Winderman believes Riley is letting the market play out in hopes of landing one of Crawford, Ellington or Blatche at the veteran minimum, since that is all he has left to offer.

Teams can carry up to 20 players in training camp but are limited to a maximum of 15 for the regular season.
