Miami Heat target Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan after missing Bradley Beal
Summary

The Miami Heat are in pursuit of Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan after missing out on Bradley Beal, who has agreed to a two-year contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. The Heat, having acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo earlier this offseason, are looking to solidify their roster by adding another shooter or scorer to remain competitive. With limited options available, failing to land either Thompson or DeRozan could lead to a disappointing offseason despite the star acquisition of Antetokounmpo. Miami's future roster decisions will now hinge on the availability of these two veterans as they finalize their lineup.
