Heat may pursue Kawhi Leonard if Giannis trade with Bucks falls through

The Miami Heat are prepared to shift their focus to Kawhi Leonard if a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks does not materialize. Initially seen as close to acquiring Antetokounmpo, the Heat's plans were disrupted by the Boston Celtics' willingness to include All-Star Jaylen Brown in their offer. Heat president Pat Riley is expected to seek clarity on the Antetokounmpo situation by Monday night to decide on pursuing Leonard. Acquiring Leonard could require giving up less than it would take to land Antetokounmpo, as Leonard remains a strong performer despite injury concerns.
