Gary Payton To Sign With Miami Heat!
 

Miami Herald - As if the Miami Heat wasn't already loaded with recognizable, veteran names, the team is about to add one more.

To fill a void at point guard, the Heat will sign 15-year veteran Gary Payton to a one-year contract today, according to his agent, Aaron Goodwin.

Payton flew into Miami late Wednesday and will take a physical and sign the minimum $1.1 million deal today. For the second time in his career, Payton will join a Shaquille O'Neal-led team in hopes of winning his first title. The last time the two joined forces was in the 2003-04 season with the Lakers, when Los Angeles lost to the Pistons in five games in the NBA Finals.

Payton will join a similar team in Miami, with Dwyane Wade, Jason Williams and Payton's former Celtic teammate Antoine Walker also in place for a title run.

should be a powerhouse team

:smokin

hey just wants a championship. From team to team each year for another shot.

Yea and he has an expensive lifestyle to maintain.

lol how many teams has he been on...probably still won't get a ring...

this is worthy of a thread? Give me a fucking break.

We all saw what happened to the Lakers with all of their big name players. So I wouldn't put Miami's name on the trophy yet.

Or a jail cell if he's found guilty of Assult Causing Bodily Harm!

he didn't do shit with the lakers what makes you think he will do good with the heat, GP aint got game left in him

I hope he'll get that elusive ring this time.
I think Spurs will still be the dominant team this upcoming season.

ding ding ding ding :thumbsup

Spurs are ready to defend their title. I think they are much
tougher team than last season.

:smokin

He still is a hell of a backup and could win 6th man of the year if he is used as he should be.
