The Miami Heat (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=mia) liked Van Exel, but he said they didn't make an offer since they still have eyes on coveted free agent Michael Finley (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3023). As crazy as it might sound, he also was interested in coming back to Denver, and the Nuggets had mild interest, too. However, the Nuggets never showed strong interest back, and a phone call Van Exel was expecting from Denver coach George Karl never arrived. Instead, the Spurs locked up the 12-year veteran guard and still have hopes of signing Finley.
"Maybe that's the reason they win," Van Exel's agent, Tony Dutt, said of the Spurs. "They were willing to pull the trigger."
:lol
