Karl Malone remains an unsigned free-agent, but he has a host of championship contenders still actively lobbying for his services.

One such team are the Miami Heat and they have the advantage of having Shaquille O'Neal be their cheif recruiter.  

"I haven't talked to Karl yet, but I would like Karl to join me in Miami," O'Neal said. "So Karl, if you're watching, give me a call. And I'll bring you down to Miami as soon as possible. We got everything down there."

The Lakers, however are confident that they will re-sign Malone.
