Jason Williams will be in competition with Smush Parker and Charlie Bell.
Heat team lacking depth at point guard at the start of the offseason soon could be overloaded at the position.
Based on Riley's offseason rhetoric about getting his team back below the NBA's dollar-for-dollar luxury tax on excessive payrolls, and considering Bell's desire to spend more time at point guard, Williams' Heat future now appears tenuous.
Not only is Williams coming off two injury-plagued seasons, but he holds a $9 million expiring contract. Should the Heat be able to move his deal for a lower-priced contract of a much-needed small forward, say Golden State free agent Mickael Pietrus, the Heat would be able to balance its roster while also reducing its luxury-tax exposure.
