There are some lofty ideas of what the Heat might be able to accomplish in free agency, but here is a completely reasonable possibility: Bring back Dorell Wright.

This is not the same Wright who turned out to be a draft bust after six forgettable seasons in Miami to begin his career. Now an 11-year veteran, he has grown into a solid role player for the Trail Blazers and could be a bargain this summer after making $3.1 million last year.

The Heat drafted Wright at No. 19 overall in 2004, and he was unable to break into a significant role. In six seasons, he averaged 6.3 points in 211 games while shooting 46.1 percent.

His overall shooting has dipped to 40.9 percent since then, but he has added a valuable 3-point shot to his game. He seldom averaged more than one 3 attempt per game in Miami. Starting in 2010-11 with the Warriors, he proved himself as a viable long-range shooter at 37.6 percent.

In his five years since leaving Miami, Wright has hit 36.8 percent, including 38 last year for Portland. He also happens to play the position at which the Heat are lightest: small forward.
