That'd be a great way for him to get another chance at a ring! However, I've heard he could go to Miami, Cleveland, Utah, Dallas, and the Lakers. I'm glad a lot of teams are interested in him because it shows people are finally realizing his skills. I have a gut feeling Cleveland is going to be where he ends up.UK Peregrine wrote:Has anyone else seen all of the chatter about AD going to the Heat? I've seen a number of articles over the past week or so mentioning his name as a good fit with the Heat, the most recent being in the Miami Herald. I kind of like the thought of AD being a member of the Heat.

Hey why not. Let's also throw the Chicago Bulls into the AD rumor mix since the Chicago Tribune mentioned AD as a free agent of interest to the Bulls.UK Peregrine wrote:Add the Milwaukee Bucks to the list looking at AD.

Here's a blurp from the Akron Beacon Journal's Terry Pluto:
"7. HELP AT POINT GUARD: The great thing about $28 million in cap room is Ferry might be able to sign Ilgauskas and a star shooting guard, yet keep shopping for a solid point guard.
There's lots of talk about Bowling Green product Antonio Daniels, who had a solid year as a backup with Seattle -- 11.2 points, 4.1 assists, 44 percent shooting. He's also an above-average defender.
That's a key.
Jeff McInnis was an embarrassment on defense. Eric Snow is above average but struggled to score. A combination of Snow and another solid point guard should fix the problem -- especially since James can start the offense from his small-forward spot.
If the Cavaliers have a real shooting guard along with Ilgauskas and James, the point guard doesn't have to be a big scorer. But he better pass and defend"

We might find out where AD is planning on going pretty soon...
One player the Heat is considering, point guard Antonio Daniels, has said he won't do anything until Tuesday at the earliest. Daniels is attending a family barbecue in San Antonio during the holiday weekend.
Daniels, 30, played in 75 games last season for the Seattle SuperSonics. He averaged 11.2 points and 4.1 assists in 27 minutes per game

This made me sick...
NBA Notebook: Daniels target of Lakers' interest
On the first day of the NBA's free-agent negotiation period, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak reached out Friday to Seattle SuperSonics guard Antonio Daniels.
Agent Tony Dutt said the Lakers were one of 11 teams that called about possibly signing Daniels and likely would be among the three or four teams that turn out to be Daniels' finalists.
"He thinks it's a good situation," Dutt told the Los Angeles Daily News. "Obviously, they've made some changes the last couple of years. I think everybody agrees that's a team that's going to win every season. They've had their struggles but always find a way to right the ship, so to speak.'
The front-runner to sign Daniels, 30, appears to be the Cleveland Cavaliers, who could have as much as $28 million to spend on free agents and are looking to replace Jeff McInnis. Daniels grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and played at Bowling Green.
With the Lakers over the salary cap for next season, the best they can offer Daniels would be the standard mid-level exception ($4.9 million last season) available to all 30 NBA teams. Their biggest possible deal would be for five years and about $30.5 million.
Daniels backed up Luke Ridnour last season in Seattle, averaging a career-best 11.2 points and 4.1 assists in 27 minutes per game. At 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, Daniels fits the bill for the type of big guard Coach Phil Jackson prefers for his triangle offense.

It looks like the front-runners to sign Antonio Daniels are the Lakers and the Heat.
It seems like Daniels is most interested in one thing — tick. He's clearly tired of playing behind Luke Ridnour and Ray Allen in Seattle and wants no part of playing behind another young PG anywhere else (he's reportedly X'd out Utah because of Deron Williams.)
Look for the Wizards to aggressively go after Daniels. They need someone, anyone, to fill that monster void left by Larry Hughes.
