Parker on the way out
Sources say Heat will try to trade ill-fitting guard

Smush Parker apparently has played his last game for the Heat.

Two sources familiar with the situation said Thursday the Heat is searching for trade options for the troubled point guard, who is eligible to be dealt starting Saturday.

Parker has been isolated from the team since a run-in with a valet-parking attendant last month.

For now, the Heat is listing Parker as inactive due to conditioning concerns.

However, word is there is an agreement with agent Billy Ceisler to deal Parker as soon as possible.

Ceisler would not confirm such talks.

"Obviously I work on Smush's behalf, and I want the best thing for my client," he said. "If it's finding a new home, then that's what I want.

"We've spoken about trying to get back to some sense of a good conclusion."

Ceisler said a buyout has not been discussed.

Players signed in the offseason can be dealt no earlier than Dec. 15.

When Parker was signed in July to a two-year deal that included a player option for the second season, the former Lakers starter was hyped by the team as a challenger for Jason Williams' starting position.

Instead, second-year guard Chris Quinn has emerged as a quality backup to Williams, with shooting guard Dwyane Wade also spending considerable time with ball-handling responsibilities.

Even before the valet-parking incident, Parker had grown into an ill fit, both in adjusting to the team's on-court approach and the rigid off-court policies established by coach Pat Riley.

That haircut was dope....smushalcade.....hahaah...too bad for him really. That just shows you that this guy started as the PG for the Lakers for 2 seasons and can't get any burn in Miami, who's obviously struggling. I wonder what happened, was it that Kobe made him better or was it Phil...hmmmmmn
