The Miami Heat agreed to sign veteran guard Eddie House to a two-year contract earlier today.

With the move, Miami’s roster for the upcoming regular season seems to be all but set.

For a couple weeks, the talk leading up to LeBron James’ “Decision” centered around who the Heat would be able to get in order to fill out a roster boasting three max contract players.

Many felt Miami would be stuck with a bunch of D-League players. In retrospect, that turned out to be far from the case.

Miami has been fortunate to reap the benefit of having veteran players sign minimum contracts in order to play alongside three All-Stars. The latest addition is House, a three-point specialist known for being able to infuse instant offense.

Pat Riley appears to have elected to bypass flashier names such as Allen Iverson, Jason Williams, and Shaquille O’Neal in favor of veterans who are comfortable with being role players.

As it stands, Miami has a roster poised to be as potent as any in the league. The current Heat roster features players capable of assisting the talents of Dwyane Wade and James by spreading defenses. This would enable the two superstars to pick apart opponents much more easily.
