The Miami Heat is moving towards signing Eddy Curry for the playoffs, front office sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Heat president Pat Riley made plans to bring the 7-footer to Miami early next week for a workout and a medical physical with the ultimate objective to sign him, sources said.

Curry’s weight and personal problems have derailed what had been a productive career. It is believed Curry still weighs more than 350 pounds.

One league source estimated the probability of Miami signing Curry at “better than 50-50.” The Heat would need to cut a player for the playoffs, with rookie Dexter Pittman as a likely candidate to be waived.
