Heat have 'good meeting' with Finley

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Free-agent swingman Michael Finley met Monday in his hometown of Chicago with Miami Heat president Pat Riley and coach Stan Van Gundy to discuss a possible contract.

"A good meeting," Riley said.

"What they have to offer is attractive," said Finley's agent, Henry Thomas.

The Heat were the first team to meet with Finley since he was waived a week earlier by the Dallas Mavericks, Thomas said. Meetings with other teams are planned.

Good. I think we've got a really good chance to land him, especially if Detroit gives part of their mid-level away to Dale Davis.

The best thing about teams interested in Michael Finley is it actually isn't about the money, it's about winning. He's getting paid all that money from the Mavs so money isn't really an issue, which bolds well for teams like the Heat!

It looks real good for the Heat....especially since Detroit dropped out of the running today....and for Dale Davis no less!

I think Detroit did the right thing adding another big body. They're obviously gearing up for another series with Shaq with that move and IMO it was the right signing. If Detroit needs to add anything in their backcourt, it's a 3 point shooter!
