Who isn’t going after KD?!
From LA, his hometown of Washington DC and now the Miami Heat, it looks like Miami will give everything they can to land the big star, but like every plan there is always a back-up. Miami realizes the heavy interest in KD so, just in case they can’t sign him, they have other players in mind from Al Jefferson to DeMar Rozan.
Via Miami Herald:
With the salary cap set to spike by more than $20 million to an estimated $89 million next season, the Heat has left itself flexibility to accommodate the salary of any of the top-tier free agents — from Kevin Durant to DeMar DeRozan to Al Jefferson.
But signing a top-tier player would likely mean the departure of Hassan Whiteside as well as Dwyane Wade needing to make a financial sacrifice.
One thing is clear: The Heat intends to make a long-shot bid to lure Durant, who sold his Miami condo earlier this year.
