Mike Miller in Miami, plans to sign with Heat on Thursday

LAS VEGAS -- After days of delays over paperwork procedures, free agent Mike
Miller is in Miami to make his commitment official.

Miller agreed to a five-year deal with the Heat on Monday and is expected to
sign his contract Thursday. One of the reasons for the holdup was that
forward Michael Beasley, traded by the Heat last week, needed to get to
Minnesota to complete his physical and clear his $4.9 million salary off
Miami's slate of contracts.

During an interview with a Memphis radio station Wednesday, Miller said he
was ``waiting on one thing'' to get done before he finalizes his contract.

``I'm excited about it,'' Miller told the station. ``It's a good
opportunity.''

Miller arrived in Miami on Wednesday and is scheduled to travel to the
Memphis area Thursday to prepare for his weekend of charity events in nearby
Tunica, Miss.

A former standout at the University of Florida, Miller is expected to be the
complementary shooter the Heat needs alongside its star-studded nucleus of
Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh. James and forward Udonis Haslem
aggressively recruited Miller, who will earn about $25 million over five
seasons.

After signing Miller, the Heat is expected to finalize deals with forward
Juwan Howard and center Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

At least two teams tried to make a last-ditch effort to convince Miller to
reconsider going to Miami. But Miller sounded Wednesday as if he was firm in
his commitment to the Heat.

``Obviously, you're looking at three of the most dynamic players in the
league,'' said Miller, a nine-year veteran who shot a career-high 48 percent
from three-point range last season. ``You need to surround that with
shooters. Hopefully, I can go in there and do that for these guys.''

SCATTERED STARS

Getting Wade, Bosh and James on the same team was a major coup for Heat
president Pat Riley. Keeping them together during the offseason might prove
to be impossible.

After initially hoping to make at least one appearance this week with new
teammates, Wade said Wednesday his sidekicks wouldn't be available for The
Summer Groove festivities.

James returned to his Akron, Ohio, home, where he posted on his Twitter
account Wednesday that he had just completed a workout at his old high
school. Bosh, meanwhile, was in Los Angeles presenting an award during the
ESPYs broadcast.

INJURY UPDATE

Heat guard Mario Chalmers sustained a high ankle sprain during a pickup game
this week in Miami and will be in a cast for two to four weeks, the team said.

``Bad for me. All bad,'' Chalmers wrote as part of a Twitter exchange
Wednesday with former Heat teammate Daequan Cook. Chalmers was working out
with the Heat's summer league team in mini camp, but did not travel to Las
Vegas.
