The Heat expressed interest in several free agent point guards Tuesday, including Sebastian Telfair (unrestricted after Minnesota declined to tender him) and Tyronn Lue. But as of Tuesday afternoon, the Heat hadn't called about Baron Davis (who wants far more than Miami's $6 million mid-level or Chris Duhon. Miami also is showing interest in ex-UM small forward James Jones and inquired about, among others, ex-Heat player Malik Allen and ex-Golden State first-round center Patrick O'Bryant.

Sebastian Telfair was suppose to be really good, what happened? Guess he should of spent at least a year at Louisville... He would of probably gotten a ring that year too if he had...

I hear Penny Hardaway is a free agent guard. Maybe he can fill their needs.

with the memory of Smush Parker still lingering Riley needs to leave these second and third tier Free agent options alone. Id rather Start an unproven Chalmers or Banks over a proven non stars. Spend the entire MLE on Bierdrins or Diop and call it a day. Get the best free agent at the position you need or develop within. Second and third tier guys dont cut it and never will.

NBA teams have interest in Sebastian Telfair? He sucks even more than his cousin Stephon Marbury. Pat Riley needs his meds again. He seriously has lost it. If he is aiming to piss off DWade, he is doing an excellent job.

Sad really Sad. This cat is horrible. If I'm not mistaken he was on the cover of a prep-star magazine with Lebron back in the day. That was the last time til now i heard anything from him. Take note Pat, you're about to go under psychiatric eval

All the Heat need is someone to not turn the ball over and to feed Wade and Beasley. They don't need another superstar PG just a role player who's not a doormat on the defensive end.

Telfair or Lue wouldnt be bad and they wouldnt demand a crazy salary

July 2, 2008  09:58 AM ET

Anthony Carter wouldnt be a bad fit

Telfair........not too bright, can't shoot..........
not great attributes for a point guard

Lue-
tiny, can't shoot....at least he plays D though

I think Telfair needs the right situation to be sucessful. He is still young and has the basketball pedigree to correct his performance flaws. His character and maturity are the bigger concerns.

July 2, 2008  10:18 AM ET

These are typical Riley veteran moves. Not good. Won't work.

July 2, 2008  10:36 AM ET

Telfair and Lue? Do they need a ballboy?

July 2, 2008  10:40 AM ET

Telfair has a number of problems, but even if he has his head on straight and is completely focused and dedicated.........the guy can't shoot.

July 2, 2008  10:51 AM ET

bring back tim hardaway
Ha Ha they took Rose | 07/02/08, 07:22 AM

I agree. Tim Hardaway, even if using a walker, would be a better option than these two turds.

July 2, 2008  11:05 AM ET

NICE list compiled by Riley!!! Way to gooo towards a Ring..Guess Chris Quinn isn't gonna cut it huh?

I assume you are JOKING.....
if you mean Stephon Marbury as his 'pedigree', and are SERIOUS-
I am laughing
