The Miami Heat have “some level of interest” in acquiring Kyrie Irving should the Brooklyn Nets reach the point of actively trying to trade him.
The Heat have more trade assets available to them than the other teams linked to Irving in the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks.
Jimmy Butler said in 2017 that Irving was his favorite player in the NBA.
Irving and the Nets have reached an impasse in their discussions over their future partnership.
