Miami Heat officially sign guard Dion Waiters, will wear No. 11

The Miami Heat moved quickly Tuesday to announce the official signing of free agent guard Dion Waiters, with a statement from president Pat Riley.

"Dion is not a Room Exception player," said Riley. "He wanted to play for the Miami HEAT and chose to forgo other more lucrative financial opportunities to be a part of our championship organization. We are very honored that he made the commitment to come to South Florida and sign with us. Dion is young, athletic and explosive, which fits in with our roster. He will add a great dimension for us at the off-guard spot.
