Miami Heat proposed as landing spot for Zach LaVine
Summary

The Miami Heat are increasingly seen as a potential landing spot for two-time NBA All-Star Zach LaVine. Following their missed opportunity with LeBron James in NBA free agency, the Heat, who recently acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo, may target LaVine for added scoring depth. LaVine has one year remaining on his contract with the Sacramento Kings, who are transitioning towards a rebuild. The Heat lost key shooting options, including Tyler Herro, in the Antetokounmpo trade, making LaVine an attractive option for head coach Erik Spoelstra's offense. LaVine averaged 19.2 points in the last season but played only 39 games due to injury.
