No way. Speights's defense is far worse than Bosh's ever was.

Chris Tomasson @christomasson now
#Heat are talking with Chris Andersen's camp. There is optimism on getting something done soon to get the Free (agent) Bird back to Miami

Last year, it seemed like Greg Oden to MIA was inevitable. However, some offers have been more lucrative, so he's considering those as well.

New rule limits Heat during NBA free agency

NBA free agency began as a whisper Monday for the Miami Heat and that might not change due to a twist in the collective-bargaining agreement that went into effect this offseason.

A new rule effectively prohibits teams operating well above the luxury-tax threshold from receiving players in sign-and-trade agreements. Essentially, it means that the Heat cannot receive a current free agent through a trade.

Under the wrinkle in the CBA that went into effect Monday, a team cannot receive a player in a sign-and-trade agreement if it puts that team more than $4 million above the luxury tax threshold (a status known as operating above the tax "apron").

The Heat currently have a 2013-14 committed payroll of $86.5 million, with the luxury tax expected to fall at $71 million for next season and the "apron" limit at a bit over $75 million. In essence, the only way the Heat could receive a 2013 free agent in a sign-and-trade agreement is if such a deal leaves the Heat with a 2013-14 payroll below $75 million.

In addition, starting this offseason, should the Heat utilize the $3.2 million taxpayer mid-level exception to add a free agent, the mechanism they used to sign Ray Allen last July, they then would be prohibited from receiving any player in a sign-and-trade transaction.

Birdman watch

The Heat have opened negotiations with free-agent center Chris Andersen, who Monday became free to negotiate with the team of his choice.

The Heat are limited to contract offers to Andersen starting either at the $3.2 million taxpayer mid-level exception or a 20-percent raise over last year's salary, which would start a new contract at $1.7 million next season.

The player nicknamed "Birdman" remained in South Florida following the Heat's Game 7 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals, attending promotional appearances and working out at AmericanAirlines Arena.

The Heat's only other unsigned free agent is veteran power forward Juwan Howard.

Miami could offer Joel + 1st rounder for Robin. Would save the Pelicans 2 million and get themselves a defensive center with championship intangibles. HAHAHA

He is from New York though... and then his team did a blockbuster trade (soon anyway). Then he's still getting paid from the Wizards. Meh... it's a reasonable decision. Probably doesn't even care about winning or thinks Nets have a shot. Dude would not play much either, Haslem/Birdman would get the nod over him.

they got him for a steal though dayum :evil:
