With James signing, Heat overloaded at forward

The Heat has loaded itself at forward with the addition of James Jones through free agency. They certainly have some valuable pieces to use in a trade if they are still in the market for a point guard. The addition of Mario Chalmers through free agency should eliminate that need for a point guard. If they like him, might as well throw him in there. Weather they like it or not, the next year will be a building year for the Heat. Wade will be coming off on injury. Marion will still be developing chemistry with his new teammates and the rookies—Chalmers and Beasley—are going to have to learn what it is like going through an 82-game season. Starting 82 games is going to tough for a rookie point guard, but even if they determine he’s not ready to do that, if they like him, he should be ready to do that by next season. Miami probably shouldn’t trade a talented forward that would give the team depth in the long run for a short-term solution at point guard.
