Juan Carlos Navarro?

You probably don't know who he is, but you really should. He is arguably the best point guard in Europe, and one of the better ones in the world.

And he could be playing for the Miami Heat.

Juan Carlos Navarro has had a dream to play in the NBA - and his European ballclub FC Barcelona has made that a possibility a reality by releasing him from his contract. The Washington Wizards, who control his NBA rights, are apparently working out a deal with the Miami Heat that could send James Posey to the Wizards for Carlos Navarro. (Hope your Spanish is up to snuff):

Los Wizards habían mantenido contactos con el jugador, pero como mucho estaban dispuestos a abonar unos 500.000 dólares al Barcelona. También el verano pasado, Miami Heat se interesó por los servicios de Navarro, aunque en ningún caso se llegó a un acuerdo, debido a la situación contractual del jugador.


This would be a coup for the Heat as they acquire the 6'3" 27 year old Spaniard. He is an excellent scorer and ballhandler, and has played against some of the best competition in the world and helped Spain make some noise last summer in the FIBA worlds.

Also, keep an eye on the Grizzlies as Pau Gasol is good friends with Carlos Navarro.
