Dwayne Wade finally has some help in Miami. It is confirmed that Chris Bosh will be joining the superstar, and both will be playing for the Heat. No information has been leaked whether or not it will be in a sign-and-trade, or if he will just outright sign with the Heat. Regardless, Miami Heat fans can now breath.

Since winning the NBA Championship with Shaquille O’Neal by his side in 2006, Wade has been longing for a legitimate sidekick. And now, he finally found one.

While nothing in this world is guaranteed most people feel there is one sure thing going into the NBA off-season free agency. D Wade will ultimately stay in Miami and try to recruit someone most likely a big man to join him.

Why would D Wade want to leave Miami? For starters the only true young talent on a team with 47 wins during the 2009-2010 season is Michael Beasley. Mario Chalmers has already shown that he cannot handle starting and will probably never get the chance again during his career. Jermaine O’Neal is no longer the player he was on the Pacers and Quentin Richardson had one good year with the Suns. What happens if Wade is not able to get someone formidable to join him down in South Beach? Uhh Ohh

Wade might be better off going to a team that has more young quality talent and a better supporting cast. Rather then take a gamble and try to get someone to come and play for the Heat. At 28 Wade wants to win now or within the next few seasons, by staying with Miami he might not get those wins now or even in a few seasons if a quality teammate fails to join him.

Less certain is where it is headed in the playoffs.

With a victory at AmericanAirlines Arena, the Heat would finish as the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference, the same position it finished last season. The difference is the Heat enters the game at 46-35, after finishing last season 43-39.

The Heat also would secure the No. 5 seed should Milwaukee lose its season finale in Boston.

Less certain is the Heat’s playoff opponent, with Boston and Atlanta each looming as a potential first-round foe, with that best-of-7 series to open on the road either Saturday or Sunday.

“Actually, he probably still would have been in the rotation,” Spoelstra said. “Probably not with the minutes he would have liked, and I also told him that the way the year’s been going, that it’s still up for grabs. I’ve had those conversations with everybody in the locker room. It’s about production right now.”

The Heat hosted the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. Alston remains listed on the roster, but his image did not appear in the team’s pregame introductory video.

Only a 27 percent shooter from long range, Wade made his first four attempts from beyond the arc — including one that counted after goaltending, of all things — and scored a game-high 32 points as the Heat easily beat the Pacers 113-83 on Tuesday night.

“I’ve been feeling good about my shot lately,” said Wade, who topped the 11,000-point mark for his career on a second-quarter layup. “I think my first shot was a 3, which I normally try not to do. But I was in rhythm, shot it, hit it and after that the confidence was up.”

But by playing Udonis Haslem off the bench, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra gave himself the chance to look at Plan B, which many considered Plan A when Beasley was taken with the No. 2 pick in the 2008 NBA Draft — a starting role at power forward.

After averaging 10 points and four rebounds as the starting small forward in the first two preseason games, Beasley finished with 16 and six in 27 minutes Sunday. His quickness edge against power players was apparent from the outset.

The Heat, who traded Odom to the Lakers five years ago in the trade that brought Shaquille O’Neal to South Florida, have made Odom a firm offer to return, according to The Associated Press. The offer is believed to be a five-year package worth around $35 million, the AP reported.

Pat Riley, addressing Heat season-ticket holders in a two-day session Wednesday and Thursday that was closed to media, said the Heat were also monitoring Carlos Boozer’s status with the Utah Jazz but had not entered discussions on acquiring the forward.

Riley said the team could add Odom, Boozer or both without sacrificing its goals toward 2010’s free-agent class, the Sun-Sentinel reported, citing people in attendance at the private sit-ins and sources involved in the Heat’s dealings.
