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.
