The Miami Heat appears poised for a reunion with 3-point specialist Eddie House.

According to Yahoo! Sports, House has agreed to a 2-year contract at the NBA veterans minimum of $1.4 million per season.

House, a fan favorite during Pat Riley's early coaching days with the team, would become the fifth guard under guaranteed contact with the team .

House split last season between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks, ending the season as a free agent.

House becomes the 14th player under guaranteed contact to the Heat for the coming season, and the 16th player under contract overall. NBA teams can dress a maximum of 12 players on game night and carry a maximum of 15 in the regular season,. Teams may carry as many as 20 players in the offseason,

House would become the third 3-point specialist on the roster, joining Washington Wizards free-agent acquisition Mike Miller and returning Heat free agent James Jones.

The Heat has been seeking additional outside shooting to help open the court for prime scorers Dwyane Wade , LeBron James and Chris Bosch.

House's popularity during his previous Heat tenure reached the point where fans were wearing "free Eddie House" T-shirts to encourage Riley to give additional playing time to the former second-round draft choice.

Eddie House brings championship experience and great outside shooting to this Miami Heat ballclub. Pat Riley continues to put the pieces together for this squad. Go ahead and hand him Exec Of The Year.

Eddie House is one bad dude. I was a big fan of his when he played for... the Miami Heat. Heat used to be mediocre, but Riley always picks classy guys who know the game. Eddie Jones, Caron Butler, Brian Grant, Rasual Butler, Eddie House, Rod Strickland, Travis Best, Jim Jackson, Bruce Bowen, etc. Fun teams to watch.

On the other hand I have no interest in seeing Wade-Bosh-James play, but with Mike Miller and Eddie House, I'll have a reason to tune in.

      This whole thing is sooooooooo dumb, why any of this is an ongoing news story is ridiculous. There are only 2 people who should actually care about this, his wife and her husband. Affairs happen, not that I'm saying it's okay to cheat, but at worst, the only "bad thing" that could be coming around from this affair is that information was passed between them, the same type of info that any coach and journalist who are friends may share with each other to help the other out. The Patriots shouldn't care as long as it doesn't affect his focus on the team.  And those saying that he's lost the locker room and their respect over the "lying" have to be fooling themselves.  Half the players in that locker room are more than likely actively or previously have cheated on their significant other.  So it's not like they're looking at him saying, "what a liar and terrible person, I can't trust him as my coach anymore"

      Seriously?!?! First SNF game of the year and it's two teams that didn't make the playoffs last year? I thought they always made that Week 1 SNF game a banger with two great teams from the previous season. EDIT:  Just looked, last year was Bills-Ravens, previous season was Lions-Rams, Giants-Cowboys ironically before that (but both coming off the playoffs).  From what I can tell, this will be the first time since 2020 that SNF's week 1 game isn't 2 teams from the playoffs the year before, and the Cowboys were in that one too, against the Rams who also didn't make it the year before.
