Is there a possibility the Heat could get both Allen and Camby? A source reiterated there’s no chance Camby would sign for the veteran’s minimum of $1.35 million but it’s possible a sign-and-trade deal could be arranged with Houston (it’s unclear if Lewis would accept the veteran’s minimum).

The Knicks likely won't match the three-year, $18.7-million offer sheet Toronto gave Landry Fields. If they can pull off a sign-and-trade for a point guard, they still will have the mini-midlevel exception to use on Marcus Camby or Rashard Lewis. They are expected to re-sign J.R. Smith to a one-year deal, and Steve Novak remains a part of their plans. Newsday

With the Knicks’ impending loss of Landry Fields, their interest has shifted toward veteran forward Rashard Lewis and possibly ex-Knick Shawne Williams, working on a buyout with Portland. Because the Knicks are not expected to match Fields’ three-year, $19 million offer sheet, they have Lewis on their radar. New York Post

Forward Rashard Lewis, a 6-foot-10 3-point specialist who was limited to 28 games this past season by knee problems and waived over the weekend by the New Orleans Hornets, has attracted multiple overtures from the Heat amid the start of the NBA's free-agency period. "I've talked to the Heat several times, and we'll continue to talk to them," agent Tony Dutt told the Sun Sentinel Monday. "We're just looking at all of the options at this point and we're going to sit down later in the week and figure out the top three or four spots that make sense and then he may visit those particular spots."
