Even without LeBron James going forward, the Miami Heat are doing their very best to keep the remainder of the team's core together for the foreseeable future.
After reporting that Miami is finalizing a five-year, $118 million deal to bring Chris Bosh back into the fold, Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski is indicating that the Heat are making overtures to free agents Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem as well:
Miami is pushing to complete a deal to keep Dwyane Wade now, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

With Bosh back, Miami is trying to complete shorter deals with Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem, league sources tell Yahoo. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 11, 2014
With Wade and Haslem back on presumably cost-effective contracts, the Miami Heat could still have enough flexibility to bring in a second-tier free agent via the open market.
However, Miami Heat president Pat Riley will worry about that when he gets to it - looking to secure Bosh, Wade, and Haslem as quickly as he can.
