After the Jones buyout came their renouncements. With the team option on Mario Chalmers exercised, the team promptly renounced everyone other than Dwyane Wade [sic] and Joel Anthony. This meant that 10 free agents from the previous season were renounced; Jermaine O'Neal, Quentin Richardson, Udonis Haslem, Dorell Wright, Yakhouba Diawara, Rafer Alston, Carlos Arroyo, Jamaal Magloire, Shavlik Randolph and Kenny Hasbrouck. Some free agents from previous seasons were also still clogging up cap space; namely, Alonzo Mourning, Steve Smith, John Wallace, Wang Zhi Zhi, Gary Payton, Bimbo Coles, Christian Laettner, and Shandon Anderson. In total, before these renouncements took place, Miami's free agent cap holds amounted to a total of $88,184,132, $24,166,800 alone was for Jermaine O'Neal.

To facilitate all this, Udonis Haslem had had to be renounced. So in order to keep him, as they so badly wanted to, Miami had to use that space on him. As was the case with the big three, it involved Haslem taking a discounted contract that was below his market value, yet with the incentive of the stars around him, maximum raises and a big arse trade kicker (more on that later), Haslem was persuaded to do so. He signed a five year deal starting at $3,500,000, using up the last of Miami's cap space in doing so. And they still only had six players under contract.

Do the Heat have enough to win a title?

[...] It is also not true to say that Miami have done nothing this offseason. Battier betters any team he is on, Cole has a skill set to contribute what is otherwise not present on the roster and the return of Udonis Haslem gives Miami the rare and special gift of a big man who contributes on both ends of the court, while also defaulting Chris Bosh into playing a lot of center. That, in itself, is a sufficient Ilgauskas replacement.
Haslem’s return, though, seems to have been determined to be the extra piece that gets them over the top. Without any determinable key acquisitions to speak of, save for the solid but somewhat redundant Battier, Miami’s biggest offseason acquisition will be a guy they signed as an undrafted rookie eight years ago. That’s a lot of trust to place in a backup. If Miami is going to get over the hump, they’re going to have to do it with the team they already had, the one that wasn’t quite good enough.

Note: Non-US teams that the player
has played for are, unless stated otherwise, from the top division in
that nation. If league or division name is expressly stated, it's not
the top division. The only exceptions to this are the rare occasions where
no one league is said to be above the other, such as with the JBL/BJ League
split inJapan.
In the event where more than one agent is listed, this is because the
player has more than one agent. This is rather commonplace - a lot of
times, a player will sign with a big agency, and they will have both primary
and secondary agents from within that agency to handle their affairs.
(Where that happens, the primary agent is listed first.) Also, foreign
players tend to have both American and domestic agents. Where the details
of such are known, they are listed.
