The Miami Heat are exploring a trade for James Harden, looking to enhance their shooting and playmaking after a disappointing previous season. They recently acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks and are now targeting Klay Thompson, but may pivot to Harden through a sign-and-trade. Andrew Wiggins, who is tradeable after his extension, could be sent to Cleveland in this potential deal, which would allow Harden to play a central role in Miami alongside Antetokounmpo. The Heat aim to make significant roster improvements as the offseason progresses.
