Pittman has been a center all his basketball life but it is James, the recently reformed 3-point shooter, is now trying to do some coaching on the matter. For this, Dwyane Wade joins in, feeding Pittman the ball and giving his own instructions. It is the only time all day Wade steps on the court, he’s still out with a foot injury and came to the practice a half hour late because he was at the hotel getting treatment. “I’m not about hiding my tricks in my own bag, you know?” James said, flicking his head toward Pittman, who the Heat are really hoping can become some sort of big man option. He’s recently started playing, coach Erik Spoelstra giving him veteran Juwan Howard’s minutes in hopes that he can work into a trustworthy option for a couple of minutes a night. ESPN.com
