Pat Riley Can Make Trade Move for Kevin Durant, Believes NBA Insider: DETAILS Inside

Remember that the last time the former MVP was moved, the Heat were tied to him. When he asked the Brooklyn Nets for a trade, Miami was one of his top destinations. Nevertheless, the superstar forward hasn't shown that the Phoenix Suns are interested in trading him.
Miami Heat tried to acquire Bulls star this season

DeMar DeRozan was one of the famous players who became unrestricted free agents this summer. He was eventually acquired by the Sacramento Kings in a sign-and-trade with the Chicago Bulls after failing to secure a deal during the initial frenzy. As Bobby Marks said on "NBA Today," the Miami Heat would have preferred to acquire DeRozan this summer.
What did Marks say?
Marks said, "They would have loved to get DeMar DeRozan. They tried as heck to get DeMar DeRozan. Nobody wanted Duncan Robinson, no offense. They had one first-round pick to trade."
The Heat are forced to run it back after missing and swinging this offseason. Now, all they can do is hope that Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, and Jimmy Butler will be enough to try and compete with the best teams in the East.
