Too big a risk (file this one under Grant Hill). I would only sign Mourning
for the minimum and from what I hear, he wants to get PAID. I don't think he
would even leave the Heat, except maybe for San Antonio, unless he were
offered more than the Cap exception. I'm sure Miami will at least offer him
something in the neighborhood of a 2 year $10M contract. Also, I think it is
far from a sure thing that either Coleman or Hill will be back next year and
I'm not sure that is a bad thing . . .
