Speaking to reporters after last night’s game against Philadelphia, Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said he hopes to bring back veteran forward Udonis Haslem next season. Heat’s historic leader made his season debut last night.<\/p>\n
\u201cA little bit,\u201d Spoelstra said, when asked if he has lobbied for Haslem to come back next season. \u201cIt\u2019s not like I\u2019ve been openly recruiting him, but I just continue to tell him, like, \u2018We don\u2019t have to make any kind of decision now. Let\u2019s kick this down the road.\u2019 Everybody knows in this building, but most importantly in that locker room, the level of impact that he has. That\u2019s developing leaders in that locker room, and helping teach and cultivate a culture that means something to us. It\u2019s not him just barking that out; it\u2019s rolling up his sleeves and developing the next wave of leaders in the Heat culture, and I just think that\u2019s been amazing”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
