Heat continue to show interest in future Hall of Famer to pair with Giannis Antetokounmpo originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Miami Heat continue to look for ways to improve on both ends, with reports indicating they have some interest in multiple free agents.
The Heat have made the biggest move of the offseason by landing Giannis Antetokounmpo, but there's still a strong argument that if the Heat win it all, it'll be because of Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo being two of the best players in the world.
We can probably say the same thing no matter who their supporting cast is, but they could use some help, to say the least. Interestingly enough, there are still some players out there for the Heat to be interested in.
One guy who reportedly has some level of interest from Miami is DeMar DeRozan.
DeRozan, a longtime veteran, isn't what he once was, but would be a nice addition to what the Heat currently have.
“The Wizards, meanwhile, shifted their intent to sign another veteran this offseason by showing some interest in DeMar DeRozan, pursuing the former All-Star swingman along with teams such as Miami and Denver,” Marc Stein wrote.
The only worry with a guy like DeRozan is whether the Heat would plan to start him.
At this age in his career, he can still be productive, but he's definitely not what he once was.
With the Heat looking to hit threes at a somewhat high clip, bringing in a guy who doesn't shoot it too well from three-point range doesn't solve a whole lot. DeRozan would also clog up the paint a good bit with Antetokounmpo, meaning the fit isn't as clean as it might sound.
