Eddie House rejoins Miami Heat with two-year deal miamiherald.com Seven years after leaving as a free agent, Eddie House on Thursday signed a two-year contract to return to the Miami Heat. BY MICHAEL WALLACE Read more: miamiherald.com mwallace@MiamiHerald.com Free agent guard Eddie House has agreed to a two-year contract with the Heat, agent Mark Bartelstein confirmed Thursday. House was one of the best shooters remaining on the free agent market and had received more lucrative offers. But the chance to play a key role in the Heat's rotation and compete for a championship alongside Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh was too much to turn down. House will receive the veterans' exception of about $2.8 million over two seasons. A player option is in the second season. ``It's just a great fit,'' Bartelstein said. ``This guy had a great relationship with the Heat before. And he's still one of the most dynamic guys coming off the bench at hitting big shots in big moments. He's the best in the league at what he does.'' House, 32, was drafted by the Heat in the second round of the 2000 draft out of Arizona State. He spent three seasons in Miami and was a fan favorite for his shooting ability. House spent the past three seasons in Boston, where he was on the Celtics' 2008-09 championship team. He was traded last season to New York. House has averaged 7.6 points and has shot 39 percent from three-point rage for his career. He has played for nine teams over his 10 NBA seasons. The addition of House brings the Heat's roster to 16 players, although 14 have guaranteed contracts for the 2010-11 season. League teams are allowed to carry as many as 20 players into training camp and the preseason, but must trim rosters to no more than 15 for the season. House joins a Heat supporting cast that also includes Udonis Haslem, Juwan Howard, Mike Miller, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and James Jones. He joins a guard rotation that includes likely starter Mario Chalmers and Carlos Arroyo. House expects to play both guard spots. The Miami Herald
