According to Sportsline.com staff writers, if Karl Malone decides to come out of retirement and play this season, expect the Miami Heat to give him a call.

Shaquille O?Neal has said he will use his ?powers of persuasion? to lure Malone to Miami. Dwight Manley, Karl?s agent, has already had a discussion with the Heat.

Though the Heat are not the only suitors for the Malone?s services. A number of teams would love to add the Mailman to their roster for a playoff push. Those teams include the Minnesota T-Wolves, New York Knicks, and San Antonio Spurs.
