The Miami Heat are in need of a point guard and could be in position to draft Derrick Rose with a high lottery pick, but they could turn their sights towards a free agent.
They could offer their mid-level exception to restricted free agent Jose Calderon, but Toronto is expected to match any offer the point guard receives, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

T.J. Ford, who has been a starter for a majority of his NBA career, said on Tuesday that teammate Jose Calderon should start at point guard in Toronto for the rest of the season, according to SLAM! Sports.
"I think Jose is doing a good job as a starter; he should continue to start probably for the rest of the year," Ford told SLAM! Sports. "I don't think starting is a big deal to me; I just want to get out and help the team win, and at the end of the day it's all about wins and losses."
Toronto Coach Sam Mitchell weighed in on Ford's comments.
"Jose had to play so many minutes when T.J. was out, (so) T.J. came back right at the nick of time," Mitchell said. "It takes some pressure off Jose. Now, Jose doesn't have to gut games out. He can play hard, and when he's spent, boom, T.J. comes in. It gives Jose a chance to get his legs back."
