Miami Heat's Arroyo brings healthy competition for Chalmers

Mario Chalmers has not necessarily welcomed new Heat teammate Carlos Arroyo with open arms. Instead, there has been resistance.

Miami Heat declines to match Cleveland's offer to Jamario Moon

Dwyane Wade's loss officially became LeBron James' gain on Friday, when the Miami Heat declined to match Cleveland's contract offer to Jamario Moon.

The Heat had until the close of business on Friday afternoon to decide whether to bring back Moon, a restricted free agent who was offered a three-year, $8.95 million contract by the Cavaliers last Friday.

Cleveland adds Moon's perimeter defense and athleticism to bolster a supporting cast around James that was beefed up in the middle by last month's trade for Shaquille O'Neal. In the process, the revolving door at small forward continued for the Heat, with Wade losing his starting sidekick at small forward [to]in free agency for the third consecutive summer.
