NBA veteran Lou Williams would reportedly welcome the idea of joining the Miami Heat for the 2021-22 season.
Heat now at 12 players. Haslem would be 13th. Addition of cheap potential rotation vet guard who's healthy to play still expected. Lou Williams among those who would welcome Heat interest and would make sense. Among those off the board in past 18 hours: George Hill, Bryn Forbes.

Miami is doing a great job of filling in its roster, and Williams would be another solid addition. He is known as one of the best bench players in the league, and it seems like he still has something left in the tank despite his age.
The 34-year-old spent the 2020-21 season with the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Clippers. He averaged 11.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game while shooting 41.0 percent from the field and 39.9 percent from deep.
Williams would serve as instant offense off the bench, and he could be a great fit in Miami’s system. He is no stranger to joining new organizations, as he has played for six different teams throughout his career.
It remains to be seen whether a deal will come together, but it does seem like it’s a possibility. From here on out, the Heat are going to have to be careful regarding signings when it comes to the financial side of things.
