The fact that the Heat made some offseason moves to bolster the point guard position, has excited me as a fan already.

Adding to the deal making, the Heat organization, is trying to sign Gary Payton. This is enormous! To have a veteran with his experience, is in my mind the missing link to a RING.

His guard play will be much better than Jones ever was on defense. His penetration dribble will allow Wade more open looks. Shaq obviously will get easier baskets. If the Heat are gonna win a championship, they will need Gary Payton to stay healthy with Jayson Williams providing some minutes to offset.
