Kevin Durant and Miami Heat Will Reportedly Have Mutual Interest This Offseason
Tobin discusses Kevin Durant’s future reportedly getting traded this summer and the Suns working with KD’s reps to find a team he likes. Miami is among a handful of teams that will have mutual interest, according to Shams Charania. Durant could help one of Miami’s biggest struggling areas this season. What would Miami have to give up for KD? Is he too old for the Heat if Miami feels this far away from contending?

š nope, not him..! One of the dumbest suggestions btw
As long as the trade won't require any real assets, I'm all for it
Get older and injury prone. Rerun to the play in.
KD is elite but he's also late 30s. I would be hesitant
KD trash and need his daddy curry
Trade Tyler and Terry for KD…or trade Tyler and Terry for Dame.
If Kevin Durant was so great the Suns would have made the playoffs they weren't even a play in team and he has empty numbers and has a horrible assists to turnover ratio and turns the ball over too much.
At his ageā¦..Jamie and Terry
We need KD and one other super star this off-season to seriously contend
Kd is not worth gutting the team for. Heās not a leader and heās always hurt
Get Carmelo Anthony and Dwight howard too while you're at it lmao.
It is hard to get excited for another older player who, with our luck, get injured and not play half the season (yes I am salty about Wiggins).
Plus it doesn't sound like Miami can afford him . . .
KD is old now and ur gonna need to get rid of young assets to get him. No go
So we didnāt pay jimmy who plays well on both sides of the court and can go off in the playoffs, but weāll sign someone who is worse at defense and is older. Also weād have to give up picks and players. Makes 0 sense
KD is old and not LeBron no thanks take the picks and reload with young talent like a smart team not watch and old KD get hurt for months at a time
Miami needs a closer and KD needs a winning organization that will have players that will focus on the dirty work.
Stop it!!! Y'all will gut a young team for old ass Durant? No thanks, I'm good with the soft rebuild
If the heat trade for KD. I predict the play in next year.
And also can the heat actually go for 2 way players. KD isnāt one of them anymore
KD can still put up numbers but we canāt get rid of herro,bam and ware, I think Mitchell is safe in this scenario but if we get rid of any of these guys, it dosent work no point in getting KD but I do think Gianniās if a 1st rd exit or Edwardās I would be open to bam,herro or ware getting traded to be able to get those guys
So the Heat are trying to push for the playoffs they gentlemen swept again. Lose a lottery pick in the progress and then trade all their remaining draft picks for a 38 year old KD. This front office is cooked
Only if we keep Tyler, Bam, Jovic, Ware and Mitchell. Meaning itās not gonna happen.
Get KDās old ass outta here man, possibly the worst āSuperstarā Miami could acquire.
I aint watch the vid. Wen straight to the comments to read em and say Giannis AnT SGA or Joker. Thats the only type of players to make any real change for us.
This isnt new news. Phoenix wanted a truckload for KD. Riley scoffed.
Please.. no KD in Miami..No..no..no..
This front office is on shrooms
If we trade for KD I might just hand in my Heat fan card, honestly. I really donāt find him likable. I donāt want to root for him. Heās old, heās negative, and weād probably be giving away young guys that I like and believe in to get him.
It would also reflect that the Heat decision makers are living in the past. Iām getting all excited thinking about getting 2 rookies and they could be traded away for this miserable dinosaur.
Trading for KD would be such a terrible move. It would be more about keeping the team relevant for merchandising rather than actually wanting a championship. We aren't a KD away from a title. It would be best to just use the draft picks this year. Go into next season without the Jimmy drama and everyone being healthy. The goal should be continued development while aiming for that 6th seed. If worse comes to worse. You can make a trade at the deadline.
There's been a lot of scuttle about Booker possibly finally wanting out now too. That team is a real shit show – and that's really something coming from a Heat fan lol.
Bro weāve steadily been at the Durant sweepstakes for 9 years now š HES OLD NOW STOP PAT.
stop it.. he is OLD… and injured..
Ahhh shit here we go again oh this star is coming to miami or oh this star want to come to miami god i.mran when r u miami heat fans gonna learn lmao no star wanna go down there to miami to lose first rd over and over again lmao get real but ofc were gonna have to hear about these fake ass rumors all summer just to see u mismi heat fand cry when dont a single star comer to miami lmao
If you could add KD for a pic sure … But as I've said before I'm not falling for the Banana in the tailpipe …
I have mixed feelings about bringing in KD. I mean don't get it twisted, he's effing amazing. But he's, what, 37 years old? Maybe not your typical 37yr old, granted… but 37 nonetheless. I really don't know that I want the fo to tie down that kind of cap space on a dude that old if I'm being honest.
Like I said – I'm torn. I'd be on board, of course. But I'm torn about it right now.
I donāt want to be the EAST SUNS š
The Miami problem is Bam Adebayo. He is not enough. Sorry but is the true.
Kd will fit well with the Atlanta Hawks
I suggest that you go after Booker instead of Durant
It's nice to think about but i dont think Durant wants to go the Miami route. That might be a good thing, he might cost Miami too much anyways.
Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez, Terry Rozier are the best we can do
Honestly if the price for KD is still high then whats is the point of gutting the team to get him. He's 36 and he'll be 37 by the time next season starts. Just not worth it, not for that price.
I hope not
Please No Durante……No Thanks…let's find a Young vet or young Addition.
I think we have to go a little younger than KD. I think we should hold off on a big move for a while until a really good fit comes around like an Ant.
