MANILA, Philippines - Naturalized player Andray Blatche headed back to the US Friday after his stint with the Smart Gilas in the FIBA World Cup to negotiate a new contract with the Miami Heat as a free agent after the Nets declined to re-sign him.

The Miami Heat, which lost LeBron James to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a trade last month, are reportedly interested in Blatche who could be a backup to Chris Bosh since he is an offense-oriented center who can play the forward and guard positions as he showed in the FIBA World Cup.

Blatche emerged as one of the dominant players in the World Cup group stages with averages of 21.2 points and 13.8 rebounds in five games, which raised his commercial value as a player and boosted his chances of returning to the NBA.

The Nets had said they are not interested in re-signing him.

Solid. Nothing more

The Heat are signing everybody!
This current Heat team is light years deeper than the one that lost in the Finals a few months ago! Anything less than 50 wins and an ECF trip is an absolute failure, and will prove that Lebron was carrying scrubs the last 4 years.

If Wade is actually healthy, we'll finally see Wade vs LeBron in the Playoffs.

haha it's funny cuz now people will be able to use the "Heat won x amount of games without Bron!" in the same way others used "Cavs lost x amount of games when Bron left, they were trash!"

Heat looking v solid, will depend on Wade and Bosh though.
