This is some interesting news, but it tells you how desperate the Heat are for some scoring down low. After dominating against lesser competition in China, Andray Blatche has drawn the attention of several teams in the NBA.
Including the Miami Heat according to Marc Stein.
Heard while in Miami: Heat have Andray Blatche in their sights after Josh Smith wound up choosing Houston to team up with pal Dwight Howard

Trouble there, of course, is that Blatche will be with his team in China through at least February. Heat need a big sooner rather than later

Blatche is likely to remain China with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association until February.
Miami has been playing Chris Bosh as a stretch center, and the Heat’s other center is Chris Andersen but the Birdman is not necessarily a low post threat.
