The Miami Heat are not expected to sign free agents to long-term deals this summer as they attempt to keep cap space open for the 2010 free agent class, according to The South Florida Sun Sentinel.

The 2010 class could include the likes of LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Amare Stoudemire, and Miami's own Dwyane Wade.

Pat Riley would prefer to sign any and all free agents to two-year deals, allowing them to come off the books in 2010.

"The hardest thing for us," Riley said, "is to convince free agents to take short money."
