The Miami Heat are reportedly "hesitant" to include one of their young stars in a trade for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant.

With the Miami Heat again intrigued by the possibility of landing Kevin Durant, a potential union could come down to whether there is mutual interest from the 15-time All-Star.

This will be at least the Heat’s fourth pursuit of Durant during the past decade. Miami tried to land him in 2016 free agency, then tried to acquire him in 2022 (when he requested a trade from Brooklyn; he wasn’t traded until eight months later, to Phoenix) and then made an offer for him before this past February’s trade deadline.
