To consider adding Eddy Curry to their roster, the Heat reportedly want him to lose at least 40 pounds during the lockout. Kwame Brown and Samuel Dalembert may also be on Miami's radar, though it's unclear whether they'd be able to make a competitive offer for Dalembert. Asking Curry to shed 40 pounds and stay in shape seems foolhardy given his track record, but it's possible that he's found motivation in unemployment.

Eddy Curry will attend Miami's free agent camp in the upcoming week. As we noted a couple of weeks ago, the team worked out Curry in April but decided to pass after he proved to still be out of shape. If he can keep the extra weight off, Curry could service as an option in the middle for the Heat, who are desperate for help at center. He hasn't been serviceable since 2006-07 when he averaged 19.5 ppg and 7.1 rebounds, and he shouldn't be trusted in fantasy leagues even if he makes a successful comeback. The odds are stacked against him.
