The Miami Heat announced today that they have signed free agent forward Juwan Howard.

?This is a great addition for us,? said Heat President Pat Riley. ?We feel that Juwan?s ability to play both the four and five spot will be complimentary to what we have put together. He also gives us incredible professionalism and is a perfect fit behind Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem.?

?This is a great opportunity in order to play in the City of Miami for the Heat organization,? said Howard. ?I?m looking forward to working hard this upcoming season and contributing in any way I can toward the success of the team both on and off the court.?
