This season is not even over and already players are starting to jockey for their future destinations.  Chicago's Travis Best, brought over from Indiana in the Jalen Rose trade, said he's interested in signing with the Heat as a free agent this summer if Miami doesn't retain Rod Strickland.

''Miami was trying to make a deal with Indiana to get me [last summer], and Indiana wouldn't give me up,'' Best told The Chicago Sun-Times. ``It's definitely an interesting situation and one that I'll look at. They have one of the best coaches in the league in Pat Riley, and they're a team I feel can definitely go somewhere next year, especially if you have somebody come in and help defensively and run the team.''

``It definitely would be a good situation for me. Strickland's been playing well, but I don't know what's going to happen.''

Strickland, while older than Best, has had a better season this year and would most likely come cheaper to the luxury-lax laden Heat.  There are also questions over whether Best can be a starting caliber point guard on a good team.

Best and Strickland, along with Jeff McInnis of the Los Angeles Clippers, are considered the best of the unrestricted free agent point guards this off season.
