The Miami Heat have not shown interest in trading for Zach LaVine, a source tells Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
LaVine has reached the trade market with the Chicago Bulls interested in changing direction.
LaVine represents a duplication of Tyler Herro’s skill set at a more expensive annual contract. The Heat are not interested in trading Herro for LaVine. If the Heat could acquire LaVine without trading Herro, it would create an incredibly expensive team where five players (LaVine, Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Duncan Robinson and Herro) would exceed the $172.6 million luxury tax line for 24-25 by nearly $3 million.
