Heat, Warriors pursue DeMar DeRozan after losing LeBron James

Summary

The Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors are competing for DeMar DeRozan after failing to secure LeBron James this summer. James chose to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers for a two-year contract worth $8 million, leaving Miami in need of a wing player. Both teams are reportedly in talks with DeRozan, who is seeking a title contender after being released from the Sacramento Kings. Although the Warriors may offer roles with more bench opportunities, Miami's roster is seen as more appealing for DeRozan’s competitive aspirations.
