Free-agent Shaun Livingston is within hours of joining the Miami Heat.

The former Los Angeles Clippers point guard will meet with Heat management Friday, at which time he is expected to be added to the roster.

The Heat, which currently has the NBA maximum of 20 players in training camp, will have to make a minor personnel move to create roster space.

...

The addition of Livingston likely will lead to another significant transaction, with Riley vowing to keep his team from the dollar-for-dollar luxury tax on excessive payroll. Riley said the Heat is just $415,000 in payroll from the 2008-09 luxury-tax threshold.

Among the options for the Heat could be trading the likes of Daequan Cook or Dorell Wright into another team's salary-cap trade exception, possibly with the incentive of also including a second-round draft choice and cash.

I believe...

…the Wolves have a trade exception that could take Cook on board. Not that they’d want to, but I’m pretty sure they could absorb his salary. I guess the Chalmers contract comes back to bite them.

The Heat...

…they need to clear cap space so that they don’t go over the lux mark.
