Another old friend returns

It seems that Steve Smith will spend his final NBA days in a Heat uniform after all. The rumor started to grow only a few days ago, but now it seems that Malik Allen will be shipped to Charlotte for the sharpshooter.

Smith, 35, will give the Heat another veteran off the bench but also another 3 point threat. Damon Jones has been the most consistent three point threat thus far this season.

This seems a bit puzzling to me because Wesley Person also is known as a three point sharp shooter but hasn't even gotten the chance to get off the bench practically all season long. Also, the Heat have Rasual Butler and Eddie Jones whom, although inconsistent, is still a threat that teams have to respect (EJ is #13 on the all time list after all). And Allen was adding to our front court depth and has pretty good skills at the PF position.

Strange move, in my opinion, but welcome back Smitty!
