The Heat have traded 26-year old point guard Chris Quinn, a 2012 second round pick and cash to the Nets for a heavily protected 2010 draft pick. Quinn has not played in a game this season for the Heat. Quinn played in 168 games (26 starts) in his career with the Heat and he averaged 16.1 minutes, 5.6 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. This is a good trade for both teams as Quinn will help the Nets off the bench while the Heat have cleared a roster spot and they want to use it to sign Rafer Alston.

The Heat have decided to switch Carlos Arroyo and Mario Chalmers roles as of late with Arroyo getting the starts. Arroyo has played in 28 games (8 starts) this season for the Heat and he is averaging 17.3 minutes, 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. Mario Chalmers has played in 30 games (22 starts) this season for the Heat and he is averaging 8.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Personally I think that Chalmers is the better player here but the Heat need to try to shake things up and I think that was the reason that this change was made.
