    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Matt Walsh was in a Los Angeles International Airport terminal Monday night, trying to avoid checking his bags as long as possible, hoping he would hear the news that kept him from boarding a plane to Seattle.

    ''I was just waiting, and my phone was about to die, so I was trying to find a plug to put it in, thinking that I wasn't going to be able to talk to anybody,'' Walsh said.

    Walsh eventually got a call from his agent, Jason Levien, and the news was as good as he could've expected. The Heat and Levien had struck a preliminary agreement on a contract that will likely last two years, with a significant portion of the first season being guaranteed. Historically, the Heat signs young prospects to two-year deals, with the second year as a team option.

    ''I'm thrilled for Matt but not surprised,'' Levien said. ``I think he's proven over the last several months that he is an NBA player. That's what we were told, and now he's ready to deliver on that.''</div>

    What a great signing by Miami. Walsh's versatility could really help them out as a bench player for years to come, he has a great all-around game and an even greater heart.
