Just because the Heat are now looking like the second or third best team in the East after the George injury doesn’t mean they’re done adding talent that can help them in the postseason. While he’s not a big name on the open market, guard Toure’ Murry is drawing interest from multiple teams who want to see if he can bud into a star.
According to Ian Begly from ESPN New York, the Miami Heat are among a handful of teams interested in signing guard Toure’ Murry, who started playing some noticeable ball late in the season for the New York Knicks.
"The Knicks also may still re-sign Toure’ Murry. The free agent guard has drawn interest from the Heat, Jazz and Clippers, according to a league source."
Murry has been getting this attention all summer long and it’s starting to look like he may finally find a home. He was never a top recruited free agent but the league knows great role players when they see them and Murry looks like he could be a guy who turns in good minutes off the bench and possibly even turns into a trade chip.
