Justin Hamilton is on the Heats roster

He had signed with Bobcats and on a 10 day contract, then the Heat picked him up yesterday .....The Miami Heat made what could possibly be their final roster move of the season Friday, when they released forward DeAndre Liggins from his second 10-day contract in order to sign center Justin Hamilton for the balance of the season.
Unlike with Liggins, Hamilton was signed for the balance of the season as well as to a non-guaranteed contract for next season, which allows the Heat to retain the rights to the former LSU center.The Heat made the decision based on the need for an interior player after trading Joel Anthony in January.
"You lose a big, you add a perimeter," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We felt that just for extra insurance at that position. We've always liked (Hamilton)."
Despite playing for the Charlotte Bobcats beyond the March 1 deadline for playoff eligibility with another team, Hamilton will be playoff-eligible for the Heat because he was only on a 10-day contract with Charlotte, not the standard NBA contract he subsequently has signed with the Heat.LINK /

The Heat must really like him. They traded for him right after he was drafted by the 76ers
