MIAMI -- Longtime Miami Heat captain Udonis Haslem said?Dwyane Wades free-agency departure to Chicago could have been avoided, but that his close friend and former teammate was dealing with lingering frustrations that came to a head last week.Wade turned down a two-year, $41.5 million offer from Miami amid acrimonious negotiations with team president Pat Riley and instead accepted a two-year deal worth $47 million from the Chicago Bulls. Wade walked away from the Miami, where he spent the first 13 seasons of his career and helped guide the Heat to five trips to the NBA Finals and three championships as the franchises career-leading scorer.Wades move leaves Haslem as the lone remaining player who has been a part of all three of the Heats championship teams in 2006, 2012 and 2013.I wanted him to come back, but I just know, personally, there were a lot of things he was feeling that, I guess, maybe just came to a head at this particular time, Haslem said during a conference call Tuesday to announce his one-year deal to return to Miami. For whatever reason, we -- the organization -- and him, couldnt get to an agreement.Haslem then referenced last summers free-agency controversy when center DeAndre Jordan agreed to sign a max deal with the Dallas Mavericks?but reneged after teammates Chris Paul and Blake Griffin convinced him to return to the Los Angeles Clippers. Haslem, 36, somberly joked that he should have considered a similar tactic to get Wade to come back to Miami.In hindsight, I dont know, I think I should have come in and pulled a Chris Paul and handcuffed him like they did DeAndre Jordan and made him change his mind, Haslem said. I dont know if there was anything I could have done or should have done. But I felt like it could have been avoided. For whatever reason, it just wasnt.The Heat used the salary-cap space that was set aside for Wade to instead bring back Haslem and add role players Derrick Williams, Wayne Ellington, Willie Reed and Tyler Johnson, among others, in one of the teams most drastic makeovers in six years.Wade acknowledged Saturday that his differences the past two seasons with Riley in contract negotiations were a major factor that led to him finally leaving the franchise that selected him No. 5 in the 2003 NBA draft. Wade, 34, has never been the Heats highest-paid player during any of his 13 seasons. Tension over Wades contract status arose in 2014, when Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh opted out of their contracts to become free agents.James returned to Cleveland that summer, and the Heat then scrambled to keep Bosh by signing him to a five-year, $118 million contract. Wade, who opted out of the final two years and $42 million left on his deal, was re-signed to a two-year, $31 million deal that allowed him to re-enter free agency a year later. After a contract dispute with Riley last summer, Wade then negotiated a one-year, $20 million deal with Heat owner Micky Arison.Arison, however, was unable to bridge the gap between the two when he met with Wade last week in a last-ditch effort to convince him to remain with the Heat.Wade and Haslem have played together since they arrived in Miami in 2003, when Haslem made the team after going undrafted the previous year out of the University of Florida. Haslem said hes moving forward as if Bosh will be able to resume his career next season after recurring blood clots cut short his last two seasons.Im just glad to be back, said Haslem, the Heats career leader in rebounds. For 13 years, Ive been a part of this organization. Ive always had my mind set on finishing it this way. Obviously, I never envisioned finishing it without my brother. Its bittersweet, obviously.

Rodney Hood Blazers Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Maybe all the Carolina Panthers needed was to play someone other than the Denver Broncos.The leagues top-scoring offense from a year ago returned to form Sunday. Cam Newton threw for 353 yards and four touchdowns, and the Panthers overcame four turnovers to beat the San Francisco 49ers 46-27 in their home opener. The Panthers racked up 529 yards on offense.Carolina lost to Denver in the Super Bowl and again in a rematch in Week 1, combining to score 30 points in those games. The Panthers averaged 31.3 points per game last season.Newton threw two TD passes to Kelvin Benjamin and one each to Greg Olsen and Devin Funchess to pass Jake Delhomme for most TD passes in franchise history with 122.Newton showed no ill effects from the four helmet-to-helmet hits he took in Carolinas season-opening loss to Denver. He took one shot to the head from linebacker Eli Harold late in the game after a pitchout on an option play, but quickly got to his feet.Its one of things those things where the momentum sways the play calling, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. This game we were able to run the ball and it opened some things up. Last week (against Denver) we needed Cam to open some things up. Cam will play his role for us. This was an example of being able to keep him out of the running game for the most part.Newtons first pass was tipped and intercepted by Antoine Bethea, leading to a 49ers field goal. But the 2015 league MVP locked in after that, completing 24 of 40 passes while running for 37 yards on six carries.Olsen gave the Panthers (1-1) the lead for good in the second quarter when he hauled in a career-long 78-yard touchdown pass from Newton after the 49ers bit hard on play-action. That left the Pro Bowl tight end wide open on a seam route. Olsen finished with five catches for 122 yards.Benjamin, who missed last season with a torn ACL, finished with seven catches for 108 yards and has three TD catches on the season.Most of the DBs that were on me were small and I was able to jump and get the ball, Benjamin said.ddddddddddddBethea said the 49ers (1-1) didnt play up to par after their 28-0 performance against the Rams last week.We didnt do a great job of getting off the field on third down, Bethea said. And were going up against a very good offense. We can tackle better, too, but everything is correctable.WHAT WAS THAT?: The Panthers won despite the four turnovers, including one colossal mistake by returner Ted Ginn Jr., who failed to pick up the ball on a kickoff return. After Ginn bobbled the ball twice, the 49ers recovered at the 1-yard line and scored on the next play.FOZZY BEAR ON THE RUN: Despite losing running back Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) in the first quarter, the Panthers had no problems moving the ball against a defense that was riding high following a 28-0 win over the Rams in the season opener.Fozzy Whittaker ran for 100 yards on 16 carries and had three catches for 31 yards.Rivera said he has concerns about Stewart moving forward, but that second-year back Cameron Artis-Payne is ready for action. Artis-Payne has been inactive the last two games.GABBERTS DAY: Blaine Gabbert threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score in the loss. Gabbert pulled the 49ers within 34-27 late with a 75-yard touchdown pass to Vance McDonald, but threw two interceptions in the games final five minutes.FIRST TOUCHDOWN: Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson scored his first career touchdown when he scooped up Carlos Hydes fumble and returned it 9 yards to give Carolina a 7-3 lead.INJURY UPDATE49ers: Linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong left in the second half with a shoulder injury.Panthers: Stewart was limited to 9 yards rushing on five carries when he went down in the first quarter.BY THE NUMBERSNewton reached 121 career TD passes in 2,480 attempts, while Delhomme had 120 in 2,669 attempts.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
