    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Heat free agent point guard Keyon Dooling said ''six or seven'' teams have expressed interest in his services, but Miami hasn't made an offer. Though Dooling understands the Heat wants to get Shaquille O'Neal's contract done first, he won't wait indefinitely.

    ''If an offer comes along that me and my family think is good, we're going to have to take it,'' Dooling said before Alonzo Mourning's Zo's Summer Groove charity game Saturday at AmericanAirlines Arena.</div>

    I hope he comes back. He was a very important bench player, and with the Heat cap strapped with only the MLE and most of their FA targets gone, they need him back.

    I would love him back, but I see him landing in New Jersey to back up Kidd.

    i hope keyon dooling comes back for you all. i heard damone jones was opting out of his player option. without keyon or damone, you guys have a problem at the point guard position, because a backup point is very important.

    I would like for him to come back, but our MLE has to spent on a starting PG. I'm pulling for Watson, since it looks like Daniels will sign with the Lakers or Blazers. Watson will command the full MLE so their would be no money for Dooling since he'll get much better offers from teams like the Nets. He played well for the Heat in his time in Miami, but if he opts for big contract, the I think it's time to move on.

    Yea I hope we land Watson as well, the only problem that I have with Keyon is that sometimes he tries to do a little to much on the floor. He dribbles way to long like it's an And1 game when he has Shaq and Wade ready to score. He scores for himself not his teamates. Watson would give us a reliable starter, he will share the ball well with Shaq and Wade and can give us around 8-10 PPG which is what we need in a starter and mos tof all he's a good defender.

    Dooling was offered a 3 year, $9 million contract by the Orlando Magic and I don't think we will be able to match that kind of offer since we still have to resign Shaq and possibly Damon Jones. Keyon must like playing for my favorite teams, first Heat now Magic. [​IMG]
