Despite being linked to polarizing point guard Kyrie Irving after his trade request on Friday, the Miami Heat seemingly didn’t pursue him all too hard.
It appears as though they have their eyes set on Kevin Durant, a player they pursued in the summer.
“If the Heat doesn’t move [Kyle] Lowry this week, he could be used as salary cap ballast in any Heat attempt to trade for a star this summer,” wrote Barry Jackson and Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.
“Miami, like much of the rest of the league, will pursue Brooklyn’s Kevin Durant again if he asks for a trade this summer.”
