    Heat waive Hill to make room

    Associated Press
    MIAMI -- The Miami Heat signed center Wang Zhizhi to a multiyear contract Monday and waived forward Tyrone Hill.

    The 7-foot-1, 284-pound Wang appeared in 43 games in parts of two seasons with the Clippers, averaging 4.3 points. He had four points and one block in two games this season while playing behind Predrag Drobnjak and rookie Chris Kaman.

    Wang, who became the first NBA player from China when he signed with Dallas in April 2001, was waived by the Clippers on Nov. 21.

    Terms of Wang's contract were not released.

    Hill signed with the Heat on Nov. 7. He appeared in five games, averaging 1.8 points and 1.6 rebounds.

    Every year someone suggests that we sign Tyrone Hill, and everyone else laughs.

    Didn't Hill all ready sign elsewhere this season. He was available for a while, but I think I remember hearing someone picked him up. As for Baqui's comment, Hill is a very good role player at the power forward position and is a better rebounder than any power forward we currently have on the roster. Yes, he's old but he still produces.

    No, and sometimes no means no.

    Why bother with Hill when for a measly pack of hot dogs you could obtain Shawn "manhavingchild" Kemp?
