Some Miami Heat notes on a Friday:
u25aa For those who ask why the Heat uses a roster spot on Udonis Haslem, who played just 72 minutes in 14 games this season, Goran Dragic provided a revealing answer that explains his true value:
“It's really tough to explain to people outside what he means to this team,” Dragic said several days after the season ended. “Everybody is looking, ‘OK, he's not playing’ but they don't know how much he brings to this team, especially with his experience and leadership.
A lot of guys in this locker room need leadership like UD, especially Hassan [Whiteside].
