Read excerpt
BOCA RATON — Monday, amid the optimism of the Miami Heat’s media day, Dru Smith was all smiles when addressing his first injury/surgery-free offseason in years. The fifth-year point guard was poised to seize the opportunity for an increased role.

Read excerpt
BOCA RATON — Over the Miami Heat’s 39 seasons, the franchise largely has been an exclusive club. The only coaches have been Ron Rothstein, Kevin Loughery, Alvin Gentry, Pat Riley, Stan Van Gundy and Erik Spoelstra. The lone general managers have been Lewis Schaffel, Dave Wohl, Randy Pfund, Pat Riley and Andy Elisburg.
