Sprewell Next?

There is a rumor that has seemed to have 'grown legs' that Latrell Sprewell is going to sign with the Miami Heat. Currently, Sprewell is a free agent and talks with Miami seem to have surfaced a couple of weeks ago as his agent told the Miami Heat that Sprewell was interested and available.

Looks like his family maybe starving after all.

What is also giving this rumor some substance is that the Heat are looking to move Doleac and reports have surfaced that it could be for just a 2nd round draft pick for the upcoming draft. Although that may seem to be well under value, making a move for Doleac for a non-player commodity makes sense in the event that the Heat are going to sign Sprewell.

The fact remains that the Heat do not have a backup SG for Dwyane Wade, or at least not a traditional one. Sprewell would provide just that and most likely would sign for the veteran minimum contract with that understanding of his role. Stay tuned...discuss further on the Miami Heatzone message boards.

I am torn, truthfully. His perimeter D could be helpful, even though statistically he doesn't rate all that well. Which is kind of surprising.

And if he can digest the idea of playing 10-15 minutes a game, that may be a pretty good thing.

What I am most concerned with is it seems like Riley is backpeddling. We have solutions in-house that I think can work and we can certainly make a trade for a younger, better option at this point.
