Kel’el Ware on not being included in Kevin Durant trade talks: It made me feel the Heat wanted me

The Heat essentially made Ware off-limits in trade discussions with the Phoenix Suns for 15-time All-Star forward Kevin Durant last month, leading the Suns to eventually deal Durant to the Houston Rockets. Ware now wants to reward the Heat for its confidence in him, starting with a dominant summer league this year. “It made me feel the Heat wanted me and they want to see how far I can get in the future and see how my development goes,” Ware said.
