August 15th, 2007 Heat Free Agent Signings

The Heat have had some problems getting some players to join the team this off-season but have recently reeled in a few guys to help the team make another play-off run. After big names like Ron Artest, Mo Williams, and Mike Bibby were rumored to be coming to Miami, these signings seem minor but they could make a big difference.

First, the Heat signed Point Guard Smush Parker who played for the Lakers last season. Smush is not a spectacular Point Guard, but can help the Heat with their problem scoring. He won’t have to handle the ball too much with Williams and Wade still in town but he will be a big contributor at the beginning of the season when Wade is out and whenever the heat have injuries.

The second signing was a bit of a surprise. The Heat signed one of Shaq’s former teammates and former star Anfernee Hardaway. The Heat are trying to replace Eddie Jones who signed with Dallas, Jason Kapono who went to Toronto, and James Posey who has still not reached an agreement with Miami. Apparently, Shaq and Penny have put the past behind them and are getting along again but I still have my doubts, one must wonder if Penny still has anything left to offer, sure he has worked hard to get back into the league but now that he’s back will he continue to work hard on his game? He could be a solid pick-up or a bust depending on his work ethic.
