Strickland might sign with Pacers

Stephen F. Holder of the Miami Herald reports that Heat free agent point guard Rod Strickland could be heading to Indiana. Strickland’s agent, Rock Newman said that they could be signing a deal as early as today with a team other than the Heat. Newman did not specifically say they would sign with the Pacers, but he was in Indianapolis yesterday supposedly working on the details of a deal.

''There is a distinct possibility [Strickland] could have a deal as early as [today],'' Newman said. ``I just won't go as far as to say where that greatest likelihood is. But he could sign [today].''

Heat GM Randy Pfund would not discuss Miami’s negotiations with Strickland. “There's not much we can do about other [teams] who get involved in the situation. . . . Anything is possible.” He said.

It’s believed that disagreements over contract length have stagnated negotiations between Strickland and the Heat. Strickland wants a 2-year deal, the Heat will only offer one. If he signs with the Pacers, it will likely be a reserve role behind Jamal Tinsley.

The Heat will be left looking at the free agent market to try and find a starting point guard. Chicago’s Travis Best would be the best remaining point, but while his agent said he expects to speak with the Heat today, he added that Best is close to signing with another club. Other options might be Chris Childs, Jeff McInnis, Troy Hudson and Rafer Alston.
