NBA Rumors: The 3 options Miami Heat is considering after failing to sign LeBron James
The signing of Giannis Antetokounmpo has revitalized the options of the California franchise for the ring, and they want to strengthen it with another great star from the best basketball league in the world.
The Miami Heat has already turned the page after failing to sign LeBron James. Unlike what happened in 2010, when the four-time MVP headed to South Beach, this time he has decided to continue his career in Philadelphia, forcing the franchise led by Pat Riley to activate an alternative plan.
With LeBron out of the picture, Miami's goal now is to incorporate a player capable of providing the points they expected to have with his arrival. As reported by Shams Charania, the organization has already focused its attention on three free agents: DeMar DeRozan, Bradley Beal, and Klay Thompson.
DeRozan, an alternative that was already on the table
The name of DeMar DeRozan is not new to the Heat. A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that the veteran shooting guard would be one of Miami's main alternatives if they failed to convince LeBron James.
However, the Heat is not alone in the race to secure his services. His former team, the Toronto Raptors, also remains a possible destination for the six-time All-Star.
Bradley Beal also comes into play
Another player that Miami is closely monitoring is Bradley Beal. Jake Fischer reported just a few days ago that the former Washington Wizards shooting guard is among the potential targets for the Florida franchise.
Beal played only six games last season, making it a somewhat risky bet due to the physical problems that have limited his availability in recent years. Nevertheless, the Heat needs to strengthen its scoring ability on the perimeter after Tyler Herro's departure in the operation that brought Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami.
Klay Thompson, awaiting his situation in Dallas
The third option being considered by the Heat is Klay Thompson. The former member of the historic 'Splash Brothers' could leave the Dallas Mavericks in the near future, either through a trade or a buyout agreement.
In that regard, Anthony Chiang recently mentioned that Miami is still waiting for Dallas to consider cutting the veteran shooter, who is set to earn $17.1 million this season. However, indications suggest that the Texan franchise is more inclined to try to trade him rather than reach an agreement to terminate his contract.
