The Miami Heat has expressed ongoing interest in acquiring Kevin Durant, having contemplated a trade for him prior to the deadline. They seek to reunite him with Olympic teammates Bam Adebayo and head coach Erik Spoelstra. According to league sources relayed by HoopsHype, the Suns have also conducted investigations into Heat forward Andrew Wiggins, whose contract is valued at $28.22 million for the upcoming season. He is expected to be included in any potential trade package sent to the Suns for Durant. A significant element that may affect Miami’s chances of securing Durant is their willingness to include promising 21-year-old big man Kel’el Ware, who has attracted interest from Phoenix.
