The Heat are back in Miami after their world tour of China. Players are resting, however, Spoelstra is busy at work determining his clubs final roster spots. The Heat currently have 20 players on the preseason roster and will need to trim it to 15 by Oct. 29. Of the 20 players 13 have guaranteed contracts, that leaves two spots for some restless prospects. The seven players are centers Mickell Gladness and Josh Harrellson; forwards Rodney Carney, Robert Dozier and Jarvis Varnado; and guards Terrel Harris and Garrett Temple. Personally, I like Josh Harrellson — a big body center — who can bang down low and stretch the floor with his shooting touch to clear space for Lebron James and Dwyane Wade. As for the last spot, that’s a toss up between Terrel Harris who has been with the club the past few years and Rodney Carney a journeyman who played really well China. Who do you think should get the last two roster spots? Source: MIA Nation
