08:09 AM ET 02.02 | Veteran big man Joel Przybilla is reportedly nearing a decision on where he will resume his playing career. The Heat have offered contracts to both [Przybilla] and Kenyon Martin, their agents told ESPN.com. Przybilla is expected to make a choice between the Chicago Bulls and Heat, according to agent Bill Duffy. Martin is interested in several teams, with the Heat in the mix, according to agent Andy Miller. ... Heat president Pat Riley has been recruiting both players as the Heat look to add depth to their frontcourt. According to multiple league executives, the belief is that the 7-foot-1 Przybilla is healthy and believes he can contribute to a contender in a limited role off the bench.

Unless K-Mart wants to come off the bench, this is not the place for him.... Pryzbilla on the other hand could protect the paint.....

They're just gonna be stuck at the end of the bench. Really useless for these guys to join the Heat.

So K-Mart would be backing up whom... Joel Anthony? I'd see him starting over Anthony, who is definitely the weakest link on that team.

Can Miami afford both?

Pryzbilla makes the most sense for Miami. I don't know if I like having three hot heads on the lakers with Barnes and World Peace already there... NYK, Orlando or Clippers could benefit most from Kenyon.

You mean Miami can't win with what they have? If they can't win with what they have it HAS to be the coaches fault. You give Phil,Pop or even Doc rivers 3 superstars they will be win a title their first year.

What's funny is how many people are pulling for K Mart now after talking about how washed up he is when there was talk about him coming to the Knicks. What is even more telling in terms of honesty, or lack thereof, is how the same people will do an about face and start again talking about how he's washed up if he somehow does end up in NY.

He is washed up, he is not a scorer and his defense has slacked some. He will be a great player coming off the bench giving the starters a rest and also give some vet leadership on the team. K-mart knows how to reach the finals, its winning them that he hasn't figured out yet.
