Free-agent guard Mike James would love to be signed by the Heat, who are in need of a point guard.

Miami suspended Rafer Alston indefinitely over the weekend.

James became a free agent when the Wizards bought out his contract last month. He played 93 games for the Heat from 2001 to 2003.

"I want to get thrown in the fire, please," he said. "Give me only three plays and if I don't do anything from there, if that's my only chance, I'll take that. Let me run with that right there."
