Sources, however, said the 32-year-old finesse forward was extremely impressed with the Heat’s presentation, enough that he is seriously considering taking the $1.35 million offer. That would be tacked onto the $13.7 million Lewis has already received from New Orleans in a buyout. Palm Beach Post Considering Heat called Marcus Camby's camp at 12:01 a.m. on 1st day of free agency, they really wanted him. The master plan was to try to get both Ray Allen and Camby. But Camby, who got a three-year, $13 million deal from New York, wasn't going to settle for the $1.35 million minimum and a sign-and-trade couldn't be worked out with Houston. Now, the Heat will turn their attention into seeing if they can get Rashard Lewis to come for the $1.35 million. Sulia |
