So the Miami Herald is reporting that Riley reached out to Iverson yesterday and told him that the Heat is still interested in exploring the possibility of adding him.

ESPN says Heat's in strong spot for 2010 offseason
Sometimes, it's hard to accept the long view when that view is being offered from a member of the organization that is stressing such patience. Understood. When Pat Riley speaks, there clearly is a pro-Heat perspective. It's who he is, what he does. ...
So why the continued insistence by Riley that Rio remain our starter? He has shown some flashes of promise and remains a viable complement to Wade, but yet retains deficiencies in passing and gets scorched with his lateral defense.
Who's willing to play second fiddle to Chalmers?
Yes, Mario Chalmers had a pleasant rookie season for a second-round pick in 2008-09. But we're not talking Derrick Rose here, or even Russell Westbrook. Yet if you didn't know better, you'd swear that it was Chalmers, not Heat teammate Michae...

I wouldn't be so sure. He might be restricted, but he still does have room for improvement at 23. With the Buck committing to Warrick they seem to be resigned to letting him go. Plus his ability to facilitate is quite remarkable. Next to Wade that skill shouldn't be undervalued. He was averaging about 12&5 playing a large segment of the season second on the depth cart.He's intriguing.

Two years ago, the Heat was used. Agent Mark Bartelstein had to establish a market for point guard Mo Williams, had to create leverage for the free agent in his negotiations with the Milwaukee Bucks. Even Pat Riley later acknowledged that he continued his pursuit of Williams too long, at the exp...

So the Miami Heat officially re-signed Jamal Magloire
Pat Riley won't be bullied, Boozer-ed
Pat Riley won't be dictated to. Dictators rarely are. It is why the Allen Iverson chatter has faded. And it is why, in the wake of Carlos Boozer's recent round of lobbying, Riley released this statement: "We listen to all inquiries, but there is nothing going ...
odom will be a heat within 5 days; boozer will be within 7 days.

Do you have a credible source to back-up your statement doc?
Separating Heat reality from the chatter
Based on the buzz emanating from AmericanAirlines Arena in the wake of Pat Riley's sessions with season-ticket holders, a few thoughts on the swirl of issues surrounding the team. Sometime soon, not that either side is in a rush, expect s...
