The Miami Heat are once again pursuing Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant as trade rumors swirl around the 36-year-old forward.

Is Kevin Durant heading to the Miami Heat? Learn about the ongoing trade talks and team interests in this exciting update.

Udonis Haslem, in his role of ESPN commentator, said Friday he could see a trade fit for the Miami Heat with Kevin Durant.

The Heat make sense as a trade suitor for Durant. With that said, Smith believes the Timberwolves would instantly become a true championship contender by acquiring the 36-year-old.

This will be at least the Heat’s fourth pursuit of Durant during the past decade. Miami tried to land him in 2016 free agency, then tried to acquire him in 2022 (when he requested a trade from Brooklyn; he wasn’t traded until eight months later, to Phoenix) and then made an offer for him before this past February’s trade deadline.

Is a holding pattern a dangerous place for the Miami Heat to be when it comes to a potential Kevin Durant trade?
