Daequan Cook turned to Twitter for his farewell to the Miami Heat.

Less than 24 hours after being traded to Oklahoma City, the shooting guard and former 3-point shootout champion at the NBA's All-Star weekend posted Thursday that he ``had a Great 3yrs in Miami.''

Cook also thanked ``fans and Heat organization,'' and noted that going to Oklahoma City represents a great situation for him.

Cook was traded along with the No. 18 pick to the Thunder for the No. 32 pick in Thursday's draft, which largely amounts to a move that allowed the Heat to clear salary-cap space.
