Harrellson's agent, Merle Scott, said: "It was a good workout, interesting for both sides. They are going to evaluate other situations they have and Josh is going to do the same. We are scheduled to talk again next week." The 6-10, 275-pound Harrellson, who tweeted earlier this week that he would be working out for the Heat, averaged 4.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 14.6 minutes in 37 games as a rookie for the Knicks last season, making 20 of 59 three-pointers. He was dealt in last month's Marcus Camby trade to Houston, which released him last week. Miami Herald

According to a source familiar with the situation, Harrellson is one of several big men the Heat have recently workout out. Currently, Joel Anthony and Dexter Pittman are the only centers under contact to the Heat, although the Heat are expected to open the season with power forward Chris Bosh as their starting center, possibly with power forward Udonis Haslem as his primary backup at the position, continuing the small-ball approach the team utilized on the way to the 2012 NBA championship.

Amar'e Stoudemire was back at the scene of his crime, and some Knicks wouldn't let him live down what he did the last time he was here. Rookie Josh Harrellson called Stoudemire "The Extinguisher." Assistant coach Darrell Walker pulled out an autographed copy of a newspaper with Stoudemire on it, leaving AmericanAirlines Arena with his left arm in a sling and his left hand heavily wrapped from punching a fire extinguisher in frustration after Game 2.

Knicks rookie center Josh Harrellson, a member of Kentucky’s Final Four team last season, said he believes John Calipari has a great chance to win his first NCAA championship Monday, but is less certain on whether Calipari’s sideline theatrics will play well if he decides to cash in on a title by making a return to the NBA. Because Knicks management is influenced by the super agency Creative Artists Agency, the team likely will consider Calipari, a CAA client, if he wants to return to the NBA after his disastrous Nets stint of 1996-99.

“The NBA is more laid-back coaching,’’ Harrellson told The Post. “You really don’t yell too much. You don’t get up and stomp your feet like Coach Cal loves to do. That’s what motivates guys to play hard [in college. When they see him getting into the game, that’s when they get into the game and play harder for him. It might work at this level, I don’t know. I’ve never seen an NBA coach do that. Maybe he’ll be the first one to do it if he ever comes back.’’ New York Post
