\"New<\/p>\n

There is growing suspicion that the\u00a0Miami Heat<\/a>\u00a0have an interest in making a trade for\u00a0Golden State Warriors<\/a>\u00a0unrestricted free agent forward\u00a0Jonathan Kuminga<\/a>, according to a recent report from\u00a0Miami Herald sports reporter<\/a>\u00a0Anthony Chiang.<\/p>\n

The report notes that even though Miami is interested in Kuminga, it is exploring other players to acquire in a trade. The reasoning behind this decision is that Miami is looking to add another talented player to its roster, led by All-Stars\u00a0Tyler Herro<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Bam Adebayo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Miami is also rumored to have interest in making a blockbuster deal to acquire\u00a0Milwaukee Bucks<\/a>\u00a0forward\u00a0Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a>, according to a recent\u00a0New York Post article<\/a>. Due to the rumored trade talks, the Heat\u2019s front office has yet to hold a free-agent meeting with Kuminga, who is a restricted free agent, meaning Golden State can match any offer sent to him.<\/p>\n

However, another roadblock facing Miami is its\u00a0salary-cap situation<\/a>\u00a0for this summer. The Heat are well beyond the current $140 million cap. But there is a way around this financial issue, according to Chiang.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny move for Kuminga would almost definitely need to come through a sign-and-trade transaction since Miami doesn\u2019t have cap space, and any team that acquires a player through a sign-and-trade is hard-capped at the first apron of $195.9 million,\u201d Chiang reported.<\/p>\n

The rumors come as Miami is preparing for a challenging offseason centered around one of their main role players. They are waiting for forward Duncan Robinson to decide whether if he wants to extend his early termination option by the deadline on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

A formal decision has not been made, but if Robinson decides to exercise the option, he will become an unrestricted free agent, and his $19.9 million salary for this upcoming season will be off the Heat’s roster, according to Chiang. But if he decides to let the deadline pass, he would remain in the Heat\u2019s lineup, and $9.9 million of his $19.9 million salary would become guaranteed money.<\/p>\n

If Robinson is willing to exercise his option, this will help Miami free up some cap space so they could potentially make a trade for Kuminga. But it comes at the cost of losing Robinson\u2019s superb 3-point shooting, which was has helped the offense generate points by creating second-chance opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
