Pat Riley is looking for cheap options at point guard this summer, according to The Miami Herald.
He is interested in Kyle Lowry, which would require a trade with Memphis.
In terms of free agents the Heat will be able to look at Chris Duhon, Carlos Arroyo, Keyon Dooling, Anthony Johnson, Tyronn Lue, Jannero Pargo and Anthony Carter.
Miami also has a nice rookie option out of Kansas.
"I can't wait to see what Mario Chalmers can do," Riley said. But "I'm not expecting miracles from a young kid."

The Miami Heat are not expected to sign free agents to long-term deals this summer as they attempt to keep cap space open for the 2010 free agent class, according to The South Florida Sun Sentinel.
The 2010 class could include the likes of LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Amare Stoudemire, and Miami's own Dwyane Wade.
Pat Riley would prefer to sign any and all free agents to two-year deals, allowing them to come off the books in 2010.
"The hardest thing for us," Riley said, "is to convince free agents to take short money."

Second-round pick Mario Chalmers is expected to make a push for an immediate spot in the Heat's rotation, according to The Miami Herald.
"We have a legitimate perfect fit," Riley said after drafting Chalmers, who will help fill the team's needs at point guard.
Marcus Banks is the only point guard the team has under contract. They extended a qualifying offer to reserve Chris Quinn, meaning it can match any offer he receives in free agency.
Riley said Banks is "at to the top of the depth chart, it's really sort of his job to lose."
