--G Dwyane Wade said he'd be "playing angry for a lot of different reasons" this season. He said he's healthy and he's "not into proving it anymore."
--The Heat signed G/F Yakhouba Diawara, who spent the past two seasons with Denver. Last year, he played in 54 games with the Nuggets, starting 14, averaging 2.8 points and 1.1 rebounds in 10 minutes per game. --The Heat is off on Christmas Day this season for the first time since 2004-05, when it acquired C Shaquille O'Neal. Miami has 19 sets of back-to-backs on its 2008-09 schedule, two fewer than last season. O'Neal, who had unflattering things to say about Heat president Pat Riley, the team training staff and a couple of players, visits Miami on March 4.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I think this year we're really going to live the experience." -- G Dwyane Wade, on both himself and his fellow Olympic basketball players seeing more Olympic events this year than they did in 2004.
