"The Heat's attention will certainly be on Giannis heading into the start of the summer. However, if it quickly becomes apparent that Giannis isn't going anywhere, KD could be a cheaper plan B trade option for the Heat."
"At this point, there's reason to believe that the Heat could pry a disgruntled KD out of Houston for a salary-matching expiring contract and one draft pick or a young player."
"If the Heat were to miss out on their bigger trade targets this summer, there's no world in which they can sell the fan base on another 'gap year.'"
"Who knows how many more games the Heat would've won this season with KD in the fold, but such a move would certainly add much more intrigue to their existence."
The Miami Heat are focusing on Giannis Antetokounmpo as a primary trade target. If Giannis remains with the Milwaukee Bucks, the Heat may consider Kevin Durant as a backup option. Durant could be acquired at a lower cost, potentially involving an expiring contract and a draft pick. Although Durant is older and not as appealing as other stars, he could provide a necessary boost for the Heat, who need to avoid another disappointing season and shake up their roster.
