Anderson is a worthy big man that is not getting enough attention in free agency this year. Anderson is a 28-year-old, high-scoring big man that can knock down the three-ball with ease. It’s no secret that the Heat need 3-point shooters, and to find a quality long-ball specialist with a 6’10” frame, who can play the center position would be ideal.

Sources say, the Washington Wizards are actively pursuing Anderson at the moment, but the Heat should still look to secure a meeting with him if they can. The problem with a guy like Anderson, aside from being a subpar defender and shot-blocker, is that he may command upwards of $15 million due to the rising salary cap, but he is simply not worth that much money. If he is willing to take less, and the Heat find themselves in a desperate situation, they may want to consider signing Anderson.
