“Of course, I would have interest in Miami, of course,’’ Billups told FOX Sports Florida after having received the NBA’s inaugural Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award prior to Sunday night’s Game 2 of the NBA Finals at AmericanAirlines Arena. The Heat went after Billups after he was released in December 2011 as part of the NBA’s amnesty provision. However, the Los Angeles Clippers won the bidding process, and he has played with them the past two seasons.
it remains to be seen if the Heat, who are pleased with young point guards Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole, might be willing to bring in a veteran at the position. But Billups said he’s been watching the Heat and believes he could be an asset.
“Absolutely, I could help them,’’ Billups said before the Heat faced San Antonio after having lost the Finals opener last Thursday
Do we even want him at this point? I wouldn't say his washed up but I would say Norris Cole is perfect off the bench for the Heat, and Chalmers has proven his worth despite making bone head plays pretty often. I feel like he could be alright as a 3rd string point guard you won't find much better. Add Samuel Dalembert to either start or come off the bench, and move Bosh to the 4, and add Chauncey Billups as insurance for injury and I'd say that's a good offseason.
Oh also, if we were able to sign him, at the end of games you could put two 90% free throw shooters on the floor together in Billups and Allen to close out games, that would be pretty good.
