Heat center Jermaine O'Neal was largely absent in Miami's first round series against Boston.

Regardless, the soon-to-be-free-agent hopes to land with a contender this offseason.

"Free agency is going to be what it is. I want to play three, four more years, but I want to play and have the opportunity to win a championship. I want to be on a team that can win and win now," O'Neal said.

"I've been in all-star games, All-NBA, Nike commercials, and everything I accomplished is individual stuff. But, right now, to feel validated, I want to play with a championship-caliber team for the next three or four years."
