The Miami Heat could use their final roster spot on Dorell Wright or James Ennis.
The Heat and Wright's camp have been in talks without an offer made to this point.
Wright, 29, averaged 4.6 points in 48 games for the Trail Blazers last season.
Wright spent his first six seasons with the Heat.

He's not young anymore, there is no gamble on his athleticism. I think teams want to give youth a chance and most youth can produce what he's averaged over his career.

Why a team like the Cavs would re-sign a James Jones when a Dorell Wright is available is beyond me.

Jones career 3pfg%: 0.398

Both attempted about 1700 of them.

I won't pull up the numbers, but from what I've watched, Dorell brings far more to the court than just his three point shooting, especially related to ball-handling. I'm actually surprised his career 3P% is as high as it is. I would have guessed 31 or 32%.
