One NBA executive thinks the Heat could show interest in center Eddy Curry if he's let go by the Knicks at midseason, according to Alan Hahn of Newsday.

"One NBA exec thinks Heat will quickly sign Curry if/when he's waived in March. His playoff drought (504 games) could end b4 Knicks does," Hahn wrote on his Twitter page.

Yes, more offense is what they need

It would be mind boggling if they passed on Dampier and go after Curry.

I dont get the move to pass on Dampier. They are going to be hurting in the middle, especially the way Bosh plays mostly on the perimeter.

Yeah, it's a headscratcher for sure, Dampier seems like a good fit on that unit.

1 GM saying Miami "might" have an interest in Curry doesn't really mean much though.  I think the Heat would have to be really struggling in the middle before they consider that move.

On a related note, has anyone ever "stolen" more money for less production than Curry?  Even Vin Baker was effective for stretches of his contract.

The Heat must have seen a major negative during Dampier's workout - as it was widely reported that his signing with the team was imminent...

Riley is just looking for a cheap talent with upside. Curry fits the bill I suppose...

Curry doesn't have an up side. He has a wide side.
