Pat Riley’s model for NBA success pushed the Miami Heat within two victories of last season’s NBA championship.

The NBA’s model for future success apparently is taking aim at pushing LeBron James or Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh out of South Florida.

Taking its social-media lockout campaign from Twitter to YouTube last week, the NBA posted a slideshow detailing the intended consequences from the proposal that led the union to instead pursue a resolution in the court system.

While most of the frames simply detailed the highlights of the league’s offer, the final frame detailed what the NBA termed a “sample team roster” for the third year (2013-14) of the proposal. The Year 3 model was utilized because the league had proposed a gradual move toward the new revenue approach, with 2011-12 and 2012-13 to have included some facets of the previous collective-bargaining agreement.

Under the league’s proposal, in order to avoid what would become an onerous luxury-tax that might even make Heat owner Micky Arison think twice about spending above the projected $75 million ceiling, the league proposed the following 2013-14 roster composition:

One “Superstar (max salary)”: $17 million.

One “All-Star”: $14 million.

One “Starter”: $10 million.

Two “Starters”: $8 million (apiece).

One “6th Man”: $5 million.

One “Rotation Player”: $4 million.

One “Rotation Player”: $3 million.

One “Rotation Player”: $2 million.

One “Rotation Player”: $1 million.

Five “Remaining Players”: $3 million (total, $600,000 average per player, essentially minimum scale).

Not only are the Heat not currently in position to fill out such a roster, but their top-heavy payroll would make such a hasty transition virtually impossible.

The Heat currently have six players under contract for 2013-14: James and Bosh at $19.1 million apiece; Wade at $18.7 million; Mike Miller at $6.2 million; Udonis Haslem at $4.3 million; and Joel Anthony at $3.8 million. Those salaries would put the Heat at $71 million in payroll. There also would be the salary of 2011 first-round NBA Draft pick Norris Cole, plus possibly the salary of at least one additional first-round pick.

Not only would the Heat have to release Miller under the NBA’s proposed amnesty program (which would remove his salary from the cap and tax, but still require actual payment) but it is possible Haslem and/or Anthony would have to be sacrificed just to be able to fill out the roster with minimum salaries and remain below the luxury tax.

The luxury tax under the NBA proposal not only would have increased severely above the previous dollar-for-dollar penalty payment for payroll above the tax floor, but in the NBA’s proposal would have banned teams from participating in sign-and-trade deals starting in 2013-14 and reduce by $2 million the amount such teams could have offered as a mid-level exception.

Qualifier: players will be classified under one position even if they played at more than one.

P.J. Brown:

P.J. Brown was named to two All-Defensive teams playing alongside Alonzo Mourning(notes) and Tim Hardaway with the Miami Heat from 1996 to 2000. Over 284 games in Miami, Brown maintained averages of 9.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks as the Heat played .600-plus basketball every year and won three playoff series. He totaled 9,870 points and 8,409 rebounds in his 15-year NBA career.

Udonis Haslem(notes):

Current sixth man Udonis Haslem has been with the Miami Heat since 2003. Despite going undrafted, Haslem immediately established himself as a reliable role player and earned All-Rookie honors in 2004. He has been a solid contributor on both ends of the floor for 530 games in Miami, averaging 10.0 points and 8.1 rebounds overall. Haslem started for Miami’s 2006 NBA Championship team and he provided a spark off the bench in their run to the 2011 NBA Finals. He is one of six players with more than 40 win shares and one of three with 4,000 rebounds for the Heat.

Brian Grant:

Brian Grant was a tough interior defender and a great rebounder for the Heat from 2000 to 2004. Grant joined Miami as the team’s big offseason acquisition in 2000 and he responded with a career year in which he replaced an ailing Alonzo Mourning to lead the Heat to 50 wins. Over 312 games, Grant averaged 11.0 points and 8.5 rebounds for the Heat. After the 2003-04 campaign, he traveled west to the Los Angeles Lakers in the trade that brought Shaquille O’Neal(notes) to Miami.

Grant Long:

A charter member of the Miami Heat, Grant Long joined the team through their first draft as a second round pick in 1988. Less than a month into his NBA career, Long became a full-time starter for the young franchise. Over the next seven years, he recorded averages of 11.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals with the team. Long totaled 9,518 points and 6,154 rebounds in his 15-year career.

Chris Bosh(notes):

Six-time All-Star and current Heat power forward Chris Bosh serves as the third option for the latest Eastern Conference Champions. After seven seasons with the Toronto Raptors in which he established new franchise records for points, rebounds and blocks, Bosh signed with the Heat in the 2010 offseason. The slashing big man saw his numbers dip while sharing the ball with LeBron James(notes) and Dwyane Wade(notes), but he still averaged 18.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game as the Heat reached the Finals.

MIAMI—

Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem continues to work himself back into playing shape after missing most of last season because of ligament damage in his left foot. He returned for the playoffs, but battled conditioning issues. The lockout is giving him opportunity to “get himself in shape” after undergoing offseason ankle surgery.

“That’s what I was lacking, conditioning,” said Haslem, speaking Tuesday at a charity event at Miami Northwestern High School. “I can pedal a bike all day, but it’s nothing like being out there on the floor and getting up and down and actually shooting and jumping.”

Haslem has yet to play competitively since the Heat lost to the Dallas Mavericks on June 12 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

“Just trying to condition myself,” Haslem said. “The last step will be competitive playing on the court. I just want to make sure I’m ready before I take that next step.”

Former Heat guard Keyon Dooling also participated in the event, which provided food and household and school supplies to the community. Dooling, who played with the Milwaukee Bucks last season, is likely the odd man out with them signing Beno Udrih and Shaun Livingston in the offseason.

Dooling said he can still contribute on a good team, possibly the Heat if the opportunity is presented.

“I could see that,” Dooling said. “But who wouldn’t jump at that opportunity?”

With labor talks resuming late last week in midtown Manhattan, there’s reason to hope that an end is in sight for the NBA lockout — and that the 2011-12 season might still happen. Instead of heading off on vacation until a deal is reached, Miami Heat star Udonis Haslem went to work at his 2nd Annual Restaurant Boat Run at Duffy’s Sports Grill North Miami Beach.

After spending some time on the water riding Seahunter boats with some of his foundation’s young clients, Haslem arrived under a police escort with about 30 kids in tow to sign autographs, meet with fans, and spend the afternoon playing water basketball in Duffy’s pool. But before the fun began, he sat down with NBCMiami to discuss everything from his charity, his nomination to the 2012 class of the University of Florida Hall of Fame, and, of course, his thoughts on the NBA lockout.

What inspired you to start the Udonis Haslem Children’s Foundation?
It all started out because I had no idea how to give in the right way. A family friend passed away and they had three kids, so I put them through school. Then, a couple of families at my mother’s church needed school supplies. Then at my stepmother’s church, more school supplies. And my stepmother suggested I do a children’s foundation because we just really wanted to help a lot of families. I wanted to touch different areas of Miami, not just people we knew.

Six years later, into what would you say your stepmother’s idea has evolved?
Back to school is really important. Christmas and toy giveaways, turkey and food at Thanksgiving are also really important, but the thing I think they need the most is school supplies. We do supplies, uniforms, backpacks, haircuts — whatever they need to start the year off on the right foot. If a kid doesn’t start off on the right, there is a good chance it won’t end on the right foot.

How does it feel like to be newly nominated to the UF Hall of Fame?
It’s a huge deal. When I signed a letter of intent, I never thought in a million years that I would be mentioned in the same conversation as the likes of Emmitt Smith and Danny Wuerffel. They are legendary. So, I never envisioned being on the same level as those guys once my career was over at UF. If I had to sum it up, I am just so blessed.

Speaking of basketball, what about the NBA lockout? Is there any hope?
I think so. I am confident that both sides are working to reach an agreement. Players are going to stick together. I am sure the way the season ended last year on such a high note with revenue going up and TV ratings through the roof, the story is already written for next season — for the Heat, especially. All those guys have to do is sit back and let the season take care of itself. Hopefully everything works out.

If there is a next season, what can Miami fans expect?
A very exciting season. A better Miami Heat team. Hard working. The pieces are there, but for whatever reason, it just wasn’t our time. I take my hat off to the Dallas Mavericks because they put in a lot of hard work. They had a lot of disappointing seasons. Losing to us, and going out to Golden State in the first round after having a perfect record, those guys have had heart-breaking seasons. That’s what people don’t understand. They didn’t just show up and win six games against the Miami Heat. They put in a lot of hard work.

Was it hard to hear so much criticism against the Heat last season, even though you made it to the finals?
At first it was, but it was only because growing up, you are taught teamwork, hard work, sacrifices and those are things as a team we implemented into our season for one common goal: to win a championship. We got close, but still for some reason, we were outcasts.

As a team, you all seem to get along on and off the court.
That is one thing I can say since being with the Miami Heat organization: they have done a good job of bringing in character people. We have never had locker room issues or anything that you hear behind the scenes that could eat a team up from the inside. We have had good guys, and it has all been pretty much smooth sailing.

MIAMI (CBS4) – Giving back to the community in a big way Miami Heat forward James Jones, along with several other celeb athletes including gymnast Shannon Miller and Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard, has launched a summer camp for foster kids.

Jones, a Miami native, said his work with children has always revolved around basketball, but he often came away wondering “how can I impact the youth, the community in a way that’s beyond the game. My desire is to do something that will have a lasting impact on them.”

Jones and DCF Secretary David Wilkins announced James Jones Camp on Thursday. It’s one of six camps around the state where foster children will learn leadership skills, team building, exercise and nutrition tips and get tutoring help.

“When you get the chance to interact with leaders like this and get the inspiration and insight from them personally, it changes your life,” said Wilkins.

The agency is looking to have more camps running next year to reach more children. There are nearly 40,000 foster kids in Florida.

Camps for Champions is an expansion of health, leadership, and wellness camps held in previous years for foster children by Tennessee Titan and former Florida State football All-American Myron Rolle and by the Dwight D. Howard Foundation.

The Heat’s Udonis Haslem and former Florida State Seminole greats Corey Simon and Derrick Brooks will also participate in the camps.
