I agree. Probably the second biggest complaint I hear from season ticket holders and regular Heat attendees is that they have to get used to new players every year (the first complaint obviously being the attendance).

If you think about it, the inaugural season consisted of a core of:

Jaffray
Van Der Gulik
Cunning
Stuart
Murray
Sutter
Baldwin

The second season was drastically different with:

Keith
Rheault
Brodie
Nemisz
Laing
Stone
Cunning

This season was quite different yet again:

Kolanos
Walter
Wilson
Nemisz
Sylvester
Rheault
Connelly
Byron
Piskula
Laing

Continuity is definitely needed in this market to help it grow.
