Heat to sign Curry

[Roy H.]

If they do this deal, I wouldn't be surprised if it includes a non-guaranteed option for next season.  Miami may just be interested in getting an early look at him for next season.

Obviously he's not going to be on their post season roster, but techinically he can't right because he was signed to late?

So then I don't believe it's a block against the C's.

Since he was waived by the March 1 deadline, he's eligible for the Heat's playoff roster.

No Eddy Curry for Miami --- they decided he wasn't good enough to help their roster this year

After several workouts with the Miami Heat, free agent Eddy Curry left South Florida without the championship contender offering him a contract for the playoffs, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Heat president Pat Riley and coach Erik Spoelstra weren’t sold that Curry, who hasn’t played an NBA game this season, could make enough of a difference to justify cutting a young player off its roster, sources said.

Curry’s poor conditioning and more than 350 pounds of weight ultimately doomed his bid to join the Heat. After going to Chicago to work out Curry, who turned 28 two weeks ago, Riley was intrigued enough to bring him down to Miami for further evaluation and a medical physical. After working out a few days in the middle of last week, Curry eventually returned to his hometown of Chicago without an offer.

Several NBA teams, including Miami, are expected to monitor his progress over the summer and consider the possibility of bringing him to training camp next season.
