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.

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      Ron's two seasons he took to figure it out would be massive successes compared to the 2018-Present period. Those 6 and 7 win seasons look pretty great now.  Do you honestly think he will jump up to a 10+ win year in 2026? That's what Ron did.

      I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

      I disagree, a lot of people on here have said their opinions on signees, draftees, coaching hires, who to play etc and have made better decisions than the front office. Not saying they could run a team, but they seem to be better armchair GMs than our current regime the last 6 years.

      Not Necessarily Panthers Related but....

      You might want to look at that table again.  Round 2 has the least QB's taken in that time period. What is more interesting is how the "darts at a dart board" happens in the 6th and 7th round. Those are the 2nd and 3rd most frequently drafted rounds for NFL QB's.  If you are strictly using my criteria for "success" it does lend credence to that not being an awful strategy. At 17-21% chance to get a bare minimum of 30+ starts OR a 5+ year career. That's pretty good for a very throwaway pick. I don't know how that would compare to other positions. I would maybe have to adapt what I have done to something like PFR's Career AV to set a line that accomplished roughly the same result as I have from the spreadsheet. If I can get to a number value, applying this to each position wouldn't be that hard. Not sure how "fair" that is without making some adjustment based on averages for each position. I would have to do that as well, I think. A positional "handicap" of sorts.
