when did miami heat win their first ring?
2012
after a disappointing 2006–07 season, the heat looked to move forward. miami retained the 20th and 39th picks in the 2007 nba draft. on june 28, 2007, the miami heat selected colorado state forward jason smith with the 20th overall selection then traded him to the philadelphia 76ers for the draft rights to the 21st overall selection, guard daequan cook from ohio state, and cash considerations. with the 39th overall selection, the miami heat drafted stanko barać, a center from bosnia, but later traded his rights to the indiana pacers for a future second-round pick. the heat lost jason kapono to the toronto raptors and james posey to the boston celtics. the heat got a much-needed point guard when they picked up smush parker from free agency and signed him to a three-year deal. they also signed veteran guard penny hardaway, reuniting the shaq-penny duo from the orlando magic teams of the mid-90s. hardaway was later waived in december. also in the 2007 off-season, the miami heat made a five-player trade with the minnesota timberwolves, bringing back ricky davis and mark blount. leaving the heat were antoine walker, wayne simien, michael doleac, and a conditional first-round pick. davis was on the heat in august 2000 but fell out of favor with riley. when the trade occurred he became a more polished scorer and was projected to have been a third option for the heat to complement dwyane wade and shaquille o'neal, had the circumstances of the season turned out differently.
