Heat and Cavs compete for DeMar DeRozan after Kings waive him

The Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly interested in signing DeMar DeRozan, who was recently waived by the Sacramento Kings. DeRozan joins the free-agent market after a two-season stint with the Kings. With an average of 18.4 points per game in 2025, DeRozan remains a sought-after player. The Heat, who recently traded for Giannis Antetokounmpo, could benefit from his scoring ability. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers view DeRozan as a potential addition should their pursuit of LeBron James not materialize, providing playoff experience and scoring alongside Donovan Mitchell. Teams like the Lakers and Clippers have also been mentioned, but the Lakers seem out of the running for him.
