The Miami Herald reported that the Heat have reached an agreement in principle with free-agent power forward Christian Laettner, completing an active offseason for the former Duke product.

Laettner was released by the Golden State Warriors soon after coming to Oakland in the Erick Dampier sign and trade deal.  Before that he was traded by to the Mavericks by the Wizards, as part of the Jerry Stackhouse/Antwawn Jamison trade.

The Heat expect Laettner to fill out their frontcourt with his crafty veteran play.
