Although the Heat now is working with 15 players, the NBA's regular-season limit, Anderson is the only true small forward in that group beyond Posey. He again figures to be a situational player, having been held out of 11 games by coach Stan Van Gundy last season. The Heat hoped to sign Michael Finley to fill its void at small forward, but the former Maverick instead opted to join the Spurs. Anderson again will play for the veteran's minimum, which leaves the Heat with its $5 million mid-level salary-cap exception and its $1.9 million trade exception intact. The Heat appears to be reserving the $5 million exception for Celtics free-agent point guard Gary Payton.</div> Source
Rodney's offensive game is good, which will provide a spark off the bench. His height could also help at the SF position as he could occasionly create a mismatch.
Rodney certainly likes to shoot and I don't just mean with a basketball. The guy can play. Just his work ethic is quite bad. There's a reason he was a top 10 pick.
White is significantly worse than Kopono or Jacobsen. The guy is a black hole who rarely makes a shot.
I think kapono would be a perfect fit...he loves to shoot and he does it well...he's also not a heavy 3-point shooter and shoots mid-range shots as well...I would consider going after Kapono or Jacobsen first before looking at White...the Heat have enough athletics and long small forwards, what they need is pure shooting since they lost damon...
