As the NBA offseason heats up, Kevin Durant's future is the center of attention, with the Miami Heat among the teams vying for his talents. After a rocky stint with the Phoenix Suns, Durant has reportedly requested a trade, drawing interest from teams like the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs. Meanwhile, the Heat are also pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo as they seek to bolster their roster around Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.

However, the prospect of acquiring either superstar is uncertain, and the Heat are preparing contingency plans. They are looking at Jonathan Kuminga as a potential fallback option, given his potential to contribute significantly after averaging 15.3 points and 4.6 rebounds last season. With the Heat in need of a big addition, their strategy hinges on whether they can secure one of the league's premier talents.
