Alonzo Mourning and the Miami Heat are set on signing a deal which will allow the center to play for his former team.  While the Heat intend to sign him, there is no sense of urgency, as they will wait for a roster to spot to open up.

"It'll be fun to have me and him out there on the same court," Shaquille O'Neal told the Miami Herald.

Once he clears waivers, Mourning, who was released by the Toronto Raptors on Friday, will receive a $9 million settlement from Toronto from the $15 million remaining on a contract that ran through 2006-07.

"I can still play this game at a high level; I've proven that," Mourning told WTEM-AM radio last week. "Come in and use my skills to help contribute to the success of a team and make things a lot easier for them. ... I want to be home. I want to be close to my family. I want to be close to my foundation and my business interests."
