Congrats to Terrel Harris, Mickell Gladness, & Eddy Curry 4 making the opening day roster! Welcome to the @miamiheat family.

on twitter.. either he made a mistake or someone old got cut or traded?

by my count that is 16 players? Could House/Howard/Sexy Dexy have gotten waived?

Anthony
Battier
Bosh
Chalmers
Cole
Curry
Gladness
Harris
Haslem
House
Howard
James
Jones
Miller
Pittman
Wade

Gotta be House. We need all the big bodies we can get so Howard and Pittman are a lock. If it is House, expect him to be on the first flight to NY probably.

Guess Elizabeth got her wish. Free Eddie House.



I still wish she did that for Luther Head.

To me it comes down to House and Howard. None of them are safe.

re: Ms. Riley and Mr. Head - no such thing

I think Juwan is out...Gladness is more of a PF than a C, and I doubt we cut injured Eddie House. Seems kind of scummy, seems more probable that Mickell outplayed Juwan in practice, plus he is younger.

it's Eddie

OFFICIAL: Terrel Harris, Mickell Gladness & Eddy Curry have made the Opening Day roster, Eddie House will be the final cut.

kind of surprising, I guess they really like Harris' potential and Gladness' quick feet and shot blocking. Plus Eddie is superfluous with Cole's emergence, and the 3 point ability of Battier, Miller, and JJ.

Ira just posted that Eddie House was the one that got cut.

WOW. That's a ballsy move toward youth by the organization. Says a lot about what they think of Harris that they would cut a proven vet like House to get him on the roster.

So we go from a bunch of old guys at the end of the bench last year to a rookie crop of Gladness, Cole, and Harris. I like it. For a team with no draft picks you have to make these moves so we can be better down the road. You know Lebron and Wade are going to make Harris into a better player. Lebron has a history of taking young players under his wing and making them into solid pros. JJ Hickson and Boobie Gibson are the two main examples.

I'm excited. Going to be a really interesting season.

This move also says "we are committed to being younger, faster, and more athletic". Our wing depth is outrageous.

lol, you said "boobie".

Boobie.

My guess is House is gone

Edit: Just read he is.

I'll miss House for that :/

I'm shocked at this move, but it makes sense. Harris can come in right away, whereas House, while lethal when on from three, is another injury waiting in the wings. Pun not intended.

House was rehabbing from knee surgery n told me last week he still wasn't able to do much movement. Likely sidelined another month at least

in a shortened season, can't afford to keep a vet minimum player who can't play for at least a month.

Very surprised house is gone...

Yea, wanted to keep house to but I think he'll understand.

saw it coming & glad it did.

with a little luck Mickell Gladness or Harris could give us something by playoffs time

He's not lethal from 3, he just chucks a lot... That's like saying Antoine Walker is lethal from 3.
