MIAMI — Justise Winslow, gearing down after his final preseason tuneup, scans the Miami Heat locker room as his eyes and mind marry the franchise's present to its past.
There's Beno Udrih squatting at Dwyane Wade's old locker, a space the 34-year-old won't hold through the weekend roster cuts. Wayne Ellington discusses his quad contusion in front of Luol Deng's former dwelling. James Johnson gets dressed where Joe Johnson did five months ago. Chris Bosh's locker, just to the right of Winslow's, sits empty as it has throughout the exhibition season.
