Does anyone know when the Heat will start making changes in the roster for the coming season? Very curious to know Thenstatus of Birdman...Oden...Miller....etc.

The Heat will not make roster changes, they will go with the same team. The Birdman is coming back, he fits the style of play perfectly and for him this has been a great influence on his career.

The Heat will experiment with the 12th man. It appears it may be Greg Oden as long as he looks good in his rehabs.

Totally agree. I was getting a bit nervous because I still see Birdmans name in the available FAs. I want Oden too. Let's just hope he stays healthy!

Well be on the lookout starting this week Thursday is when the amnesty windows opens from July 11-July 17.
So it could decide if the Heat want to amnesty Mike Miller,or Joel Anthony.(Or even look to trade them)

Now that the big free agents have almost all been scooped up,and when things start to settle down.

I expect the Birdman resigning to come soon,and then hopefully a Greg Oden signing.

Any changes may come in August/September. These are mostly end of the bench type players, for he most part the same team is coming back.

Riley's exact words were "We will cannabalize the market in August and September"

although with amnesty period approaching and decisions that we will or will not make, it will indicate exactly how much movement you see.

I am also worried. I think if Oden was going to sign he would have already signed by now. Then again I dont see his name mentioned much in the rumor mill. I think teams are just waiting for the order of bigs to be signed, Dwight was first, Kaman should be soon then Bynum then maybe an Oden and Birdman.
