Houston Rockets Target Mario Chamlers if Jeremy Lin Traded?

The Miami Heat opted to pick up the team option on Mario Chalmers with the
intentions of having him and Norris Cole work in tandem with one another.
However, with Chalmers headed to free agency, Cole is the new favorite of the
team. With the Heat targeting the Big 3 as priorities this offseason, what
happens to Chalmers?



The Miami Herald is reporting that Chalmers will likely chase the money over
team loyalty this offseason. The point guard could be in for a solid pay
raise, one the Heat simply cannot offer with their available salary cap
space. The point guard market is big this offseason. Teams are attempting to
chase players like Eric Bledsoe who is demanding a max contract and Rajon
Rondo who might not even be available. Chalmers comes with talent and
slightly smaller salary demands which could mean plenty of contract offers
coming his way.



With Cole developing, Chalmers is not a priority. The Heat will have their
hands filled with Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh who can all opt to
exit if they so choose. All three have remained quiet about their uncertain
futures with Miami, but the Herald is reporting that there is a growing
belief all three will return in 2014 whether the team wins a championship or
not. That means there will not be room to give Chalmers the contract he
likely wants.



So who do the Heat target in free agency other than the return of the Big 3?
The Heat are at risk of losing Ray Allen to retirement, meaning they need a
solid option at shooting guard. Bleacher Report believes players like Xavier
Henry or Jimmer Fredette. Both players will not command a giant contract and
would be comfortable coming off the bench for Dwyane Wade. Henry dealt with
injury issues last season and could be the odd man out in a re-tooling team.
He is coming off one of his better stretches of time and if healthy could be
an excellent piece. Fredette is a low-risk, high-reward player. The market
will not be hot for Fredette meaning he will except any type of deal and he
can replace Allen's 3-point production.



As far as Chalmers goes, he will get plenty of attention. A team like the
Houston Rockets could easily look at Chalmers if he is available and they
trade away Jeremy Lin. The New York Knicks could also be a strong option
depending on which players they trade away this offseason which could be
several of them.

一旦Chalmers離開熱火，他勢必會得到很多球隊的關注，像是火箭交易掉林書豪後可能會
鎖定他，尼克今年休賽季可能會清洗很多人，簽Chalmers可能會是一個不錯的選擇。
