The Miami Heat are seeking to revamp their roster following a subpar 2024-25 season that ended with a playoff sweep. Recognizing the ineffectiveness of the 'run it back' strategy, Pat Riley has acknowledged the need for change. With star player Kevin Durant now off the market, the front office is exploring lateral trades, demonstrating interest in players like Jonathan Kuminga. They may also consider trading their 20th draft pick, aiming to maintain future cap flexibility while strengthening the team for the upcoming season.
The Heat has some level of interest in Johnathan Kuminga, but is currently exploring other potential moves, according to a league source.
One reason the Heat could choose to deal this year's pick is to free up additional tradeable future first-round selections, according to a league source.
We do have to make changes. The infamous 'run it back' method won't fly anymore with the current state of the team.
Among the Heat's upcoming goals is to add a veteran who can help share some of the scoring load without sacrificing much 2026 cap flexibility.
