“The Heat are frequently forecasted as a team, along with Minnesota, expected to show trade interest this offseason in Phoenix's Kevin Durant. What sort of clues Riley drops clues about his team-building approach in the wake of a 37-45 campaign and painful first-round playoff sweep inflicted by Cleveland will be of prime interest.”

The Miami Heat are "frequently forecasted" to signal their interest in Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, according to NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer. They reported there's a similar attitude toward the Minnesota Timberwolves in the expected KD sweepstakes this summer.

If Durant is moved, the Houston Rockets are the favorite (+250) to land him followed by the Dallas Mavericks (+750), Minnesota Timberwolves (+800), Miami Heat (+800) and San Antonio Spurs (+1000).
