According to Ira Winderman, the Heat have released Patrick Beverley and De'Sean Butler. 

Personally, im not a fan of this move because we have 4 centers on the roster with a coach who also likes to play his 4's at the center position every now and then. I understand everyones issue with Maglore being able to size up against the Lakers, but until the playoffs with this team we dont even know how much of a problem this will be. 

My first choice was to keep De'Sean Butler. I think having a kid who would have been a lottery pick if he didnt get hurt was wise for the future. I know were all about winning now, but you want to be able to look down the road as well. This team is deep enough to be able to hold him on the roster spot until he is healthy. 

Secondly, i would have been ok with keeping Beverley because of his defense at the PG position, which we lack consistency in. 

I would have much rather kept either of those 2 players instead of Maglore. Dont get me wrong, i like the Big Cat but i honestly think we could have used the other 2 players more.
