Regarding the Miami Heat’s interest in Kevin Durant, the franchise was interested in acquiring him before the deadline and remains interested in reuniting him with fellow Olympians Bam Adebayo and coach Erik Spoelstra. The Suns have done background work on Heat forward Andrew Wiggins, league sources told HoopsHype. Wiggins is owed $28.22 million this upcoming season and would likely be a part of any Heat trade package for Durant. A key factor in Miami’s chances of landing Durant could hinge on whether the franchise is willing to part with talented 21-year-old big man Kel’el Ware, who’s of interest to Phoenix.

More on this storyline
Shamit Dua: I’ve just been texting random executives across the league. This is speculation, right? This is not them saying this is what we would do. This is just them guessing, right? I was like this is straight off asking people like would anyone touch Zion with a 10-foot pole? And there seems to be this general idea of like you kind of saw it with with like Derrick Rose and Kristaps Porzingis that like there will be teams that do not necessarily care about the reputation provided they have enough general information to know that this is going to get settled out of court and the allegations won’t stick. There will be teams who do not care and but those teams who do not care need to be sufficiently desperate one and two they’re not going to give you anything of value. So you’re going to get really bad contracts and likely no picks. But if you do get a pick, it’s a late pick. So an example would be Andrew Wiggins and Duncan Robinson for Zion and some small salary just to kind of make it even. -via YouTube / June 3, 2025
If Wiggins is back next season, the Heat will expect a lot more from a player who’s currently slotted to be the third-highest paid on the roster behind only Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. As it stands, Wiggins’ contract is one that could help facilitate an offseason trade. -via Miami Herald / May 5, 2025
Victor Oladipo on Heat: You have to make a decision. Is Tyler Herro a number one option? Is Bam Adebayo a number two option? And if not, can I get a number three option in here or can I get a one option in here? You either need to get figure out if you need a third option. Is Andrew Wiggins that or do I need to go find someone else that better fits that mold or is Bam really my third option and Tyler my second option and I have to go find the number one option? That’s what I think Miami has to decide in this offseason. What roles are Tyler and Bam playing in my future. Are they my guys or are they just a piece of the puzzle? -via YouTube / May 1, 2025
