MARISSA SILVERA of the Miami Herald reports: Six-foot-nine forward/center Lari Ketner will ``probably sign [today],'' with the Heat according to his agent, Mark Bartelstein.

In other News, Dwight Manley, the agent for Jazz free agent center Olden Polynice, said Thursday afternoon he was still waiting to hear from Heat general manager Randy Pfund. He didn't seem concerned about the possible signing of Ketner.

``That doesn't sound threatening to the situation,'' Manley said. ``I left a message for Randy. It seems like Olden is a perfect fit in Miami.''

The Cleveland Cavaliers said the Heat no longer seems interested in trading its $3.3 million trade exception to the Cavaliers for free agent center Chris Gatling. Without a trade, the most Miami could offer Gatling is $1 million.
