"The Heat landed a pair of centers, re-signing restricted free agent Joel Anthony to a five-year deal worth around $18 million.and also inking second-round draft pick Dexter Pittman from Texas to a three-year contract. Anthony has spent three seasons with the Heat, mostly as a defensive-minded reserve. Pittman was the 32nd pick in last month's draft and has been with Miami's summer-league club."
Zydrunas Ilgauskas+ Juwan Howard to (Heat)
"Zydrunas Ilgauskas agreed to join the Heat on Tuesday and may be signed by Saturday, and Miami is also closing in on adding veteran forward Juwan Howard -- an ironic twist, considering Pat Riley tried to land Howard in a $99 million deal 14 years ago that was voided by the NBA."
"Miami has had conversations with swingman Matt Barnes, who played with Orlando last season and delayed his anticipated Friday decision on 2010-11 because other teams were contacting him. The Heat also are considering their other second-round draft picks, Da'Sean Butler and Jarvis Varnado, plus have interest in free agent point guards Keyon Dooling and Chris Quinn."
